np - Aren't you judgy!

My kids are now teenagers, but I made a big effort to feed them healthily in their early years, before the junk of the world was available to them.  I think it worked great!  They were rarely sick, and are now strong, healthy, and smart.

Obviously, I don't know what they would be like if I had fed them ice cream and Cheez-its from the start.  But I feel good that I started off their physical health in the best way I could.

I, too, complained in pre-school about some of the snacks, and I feel no shame about that.  Science is in my side. [/quote]

It’s not judging if it’s a fact, which you readily admit you were doing! We move around a lot and have been at many schools and it’s always ALWAYS the moms of the youngest kids trying to overthrow the lunch provided for “healthier” options. [b]The kids don’t want the healthy stuff it’s always a flop.[/b][/quote]

...my 3 year old just devoured lamb with leek & zucchini couscous for dinner... [/quote]

Cool. They won’t get that at school lunch.[/quote]

That's not a rebuttal, that's an attempt at a dodge.  Your argument against healthy habits is "we shouldn’t try because kids might resist."...

That just doesn't lands with thoughtful parents along.

"They won't get that at (GDS's) school lunch (if parents resist because they are afraid of their kids resisting)." BUT they will get that if they go to another one of the "elite" DC School options...

And for an "elite" DC who uses the same company to provide school lunches as one that is doing it well... it's a surprisingly low bar to not be able to clear...[/quote]

Their friends are eating butter noodles for dinner. You are so naive.[/quote]

Other kids eat butter noodles” isn’t really an argument against setting a higher baseline at school...

What happens at other people's homes isn’t the point—what schools normalize is.[/quote]
