Unless the kid is eating in class, the teacher does not confiscate food. Could you imagine the legal backlash if teachers went through kids' lunches and removed items?

Hey OP, I thought of you yesterday when I was volunteering at my kids' school - I had to accompany kids to their classroom who'd forgotten their lunch boxes. One kid pulled out a couple of baggies and a juice from her backpack - either she didn't have a sack/lunchbox or she didn't understand that she was supposed to be buying that those were for aftercare. Is it possible that your child is confused about how to manage the food she's bringing?

Fwiw, the kid I saw yesterday had only fruit in the baggies; no Oreos. Hopefully that passes muster with the food Nazi moms on this thread. Of course when the lunchroom staff realized, they arranged to get her a hot meal, on the presumption that no parent would deliberately send just a few grapes for their kids' lunch. Perhaps they should read this thread.

well maybe if OP was sending things other than candy it wouldn't get stolen...

You are a disaster of a person.

After years of discussing it on every possible media, people are still ignorant enough to feed their kids oreos and gummies on regular basis.

Suck it.

Do you really believe that a random parent is allowed to go through the lunches of other students? Do you think they just walk into the classroom and start pulling lunch sacks out of the closet?

It's like some of you have never been in an elementary classroom. I can assure everyone that at no time is there an adult rooting through student lunches and tossing out certain food items based on a secret rulebook of what is nutritious and what is not.

There is a 100% chance that another child is coveting the goodies in OP's child's lunch and helping themselves when nobody is looking.

the fact that it is missing means it is either thrown away but some other classmates' pesky mom, stolen by another kid who is deprived of Oreos. Teachers rarely want any kids foods especially if its touched, messed around with in a kids bag.

So is someone stealing the girl's snacks or what?

You have an unhealthy attitude towards food PP.

No, it is not OK. Oreos don't just lack nutrition, the amount of sugar they hold is harmful to the body.

Agree with previous poster. Why is obesity such a big problem and concern in the America? Just look at our food portions. Everything is super sized. Everything is without any hardwork. (Messages of lose weight easy while you sit and gobble snacks)

you won't even get fat from an Oreo daily if it isn't coupled with candies, chips, fatty meat, large serving of burritos and pasta and then not having any output and being driven to school for a half mile because it's too dangerous to walk the street.

"It MAY explain why SOME people..."

I don't know how my brain treats cocaine, because I never tried, it, but my brain does not treat Oreos like a drug.
