[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the snacking thing has gotten out of control.  In my daughter's class the kids are given snack because they don't have lunch till 12:15.   I see this as totally unnecessary.  Why does a kid need to have a snack between breakfast and a normal lunch time?[/quote]

Agree. Apparently kids need to be fed all the time now. A 1 hr soccer practice, where a good portion is spent listening to instruction -- so no calories are being burned -- apparently necessitates orange slices or granola bars of whatever afterwards. No wonder kids can't keep the weight off. Any calories burned are immediately put back on due to the non stop snacking. And if you don't let your kids partake apparently you are the parent who is guiding their kid towards an eating disorder.

Snacking is more common in adults too now. I was raised eating 3 (really 2 - as I could never eat first thing in the morning) square meals a day and that's it. The people in my office think it's bad and that I'm underweight because I don't have a constant stream of almonds or hummus or whatever all day long because protein is SO important in making you feel full. I'm not sure how those protein calories ever get burned off.[/quote]
