[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides, I don't think you can reasonably expect a soccer group to accommodate your vegetarian/vegan/low carb diet choices.[/quote]

Its unreasonable to expect parents bring reasonable snacks of fruits, veggies, crackers, and more healthy options. [/quote]

Yeah, because what is on your list of "ok" foods will be on someone else's list of "not ok" foods.  Your black bean chips and hummus sound delicious to me but that will not be a popular snack among 6 year old kids.

Just bring something that most of them will eat and that cleans up easily.[/quote]

No one is talking that.  Grapes, strawberries, carrots, oranges, celery are all basic.   [/quote]

My kid is allergic to strawberries and has sensory issues won't eat grapes, carrots, oranges or celery.  And, sensory issues are just as 'real' as food allergies.  [/quote]

I am the one who posted what you respond to.  I have the picky vegetarian with food allergies. Difference between healthy snacks that consider food allergies and major restrictions.  I would expect if someone brought pizza to be considerate and get cheese and pepperoni but I would not expect someone to provide vegan cheese if we were vegan (which we are not).

Given your restrictions you bring your own food.  (My kid was diagnosed with sensory issues and I think its a bunch of OT bunk to bill parents for OT's justifying payment for non-sense therapy like having kids play with play dough and shaving cream).  If your kid has that many feeding issues (and mine did) you bring your own food, supplement with formula or pedisure and make it work.  Or, go to a feeding clinic.  At one point, my kid would only eat 1-2 foods.  So, do I claim sensory and say you can only bring that?  The point is asking for healthy snacks if they are provided taking into account life threatening food allergies (my kid just gets a rash so we stay away but never ask for it to be banned or not brought).  To say someone cannot bring strawberries, grapes, carrots, oranges or celery which are all very appropriate snacks is even extreme for me.  Maybe you'd do better with the neon cup cakes.[/quote]
