calling someone a control freak for caring about what their kid eats is… a take...
A handful of goldfish crackers or pretzels at snack time is not going to matter.
Add up everything the kid eats during the day and think hard about if these goldfish crackers are making a difference. Or is it the other 95% of food that is consumed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Focusing on this 5% shows how truly far gone your mind has become.
I believe OP has stated multiple times it is more than 1 small serving, it IS the overall nutrition throughout the day that is the problem. 95% of the day is school for a kid, so you are expecting that last 5% to compensate and it just doesn't work.
Where does your kid go to school that it's 95% of their day?
The GDS kindergarten day is 7 hours. For that to be 95% of your kid's day they'd need to awake 22 minutes outside of school. So, up at 7:49 and back to sleep at 3:11? If that's your kid, then you probablly need to take them to the doctor, because they have bigger issues than goldfish.
My kids didn't go to a Big 3 in elementary (one does now), but at that age they ate 16/21 meals and the majority of their snacks outside of school.
Reducing it to “16/21 meals” skips over the part where kids are eating multiple snacks at school AND assumes the child never goes to a birthday party or enjoys a treat at home, which is exactly what people are raising concerns about.

Plot twist: Mrs. Buttered Noodles is actually a child trying to convince her parents to feed her buttered noodles because she has gotten used to the empty calories her school provides.
"Seeeeee everyone eats buttered noodles after school. You're a bad parent if you don't... I'm not saying, the internet is saying."

Your child spends 95% of their day in school? Now that’s sad.

Someone get this woman a pack of cheez its and some buttered noodles! If her kids are as feral is she is over them, I get it...
Seriously! Why is she fighting so hard to keep empty calories in her kids diet. Most of us are trying to squeeze in every bit of brain food we can...

My child is in kindergarten at one of the local Waldorf schools (there are three in our area). For snack, they have a weekly rotation comprised of organic, vegetarian, nourishing snacks that are home cooked each day inside the classroom - soup, oatmeal, millet... On soup day the children bring a vegetable and help peel and chop. The classroom smells wonderful at drop off.

I hope OP is able to help GDS support kid's nutrition or find a more supportive school... the push for processed foods here is just sad... I really hope the school hears her concerns.

Truly! The irony of someone insisting we must feed our kids process food and buttered noodles or else we are bad parents and control freaks...
