Again, low fat is promoted. They are trying to get the sugar out of the schools which is a step in the right direction. The dreaded weekly bake sale was eliminated - yay! The choices still aren't great and it's probably three times a year that my son buys lunch (usually pizza) and my daughter only buys when I have run out of almost every thing for lunch (son needs to order lunch monthly so he gets first dibs while daughter can buy with cash). No one is allowed to give any child food which is great - too many teachers use candy/treats as rewards. This also means no birthday snacks.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, when my daughter goes to private high school next year, these rules do not apply. When she visited the school, she went to a class where the teacher had all sorts of treats in the back of the classroom and the students could graze. I'm working on her to get her to understand what's good for her and what has too many carbs but teenagers are tough.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10986414911022579814noreply@blogger.com
