hard to monitor kids food
by Vicki_R on April 26, 2007 - 1:07pm
I hope that this is really true.  It is very hard to monitor what your child is really eating at school, even when you send in their lunch.  Kids are kids, and they trade their snacks, sandwiches, whatever for that sugary treat.  If it is not there, it will entice them to eat their own food.

They should be banned for good

I think that they shouldn't JUST be banned in schools, but everywhere. Wouldn't that be lovely?
