I think it's time to take it to work in my lunch tomorrow! :) I will think of you as I pull it out! :)Cathy Spocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609384978270256120.post-31886964049962959722009-09-30T09:06:14.741-04:002009-09-30T09:06:14.741-04:00UGH!

It's not like we don't have lots of great nut free snacks that the kids can take to school. <br /><br />I just wish I could buy those things in bulk and save some money and save creating extra trash. Though I must say I am really disgusted by the list the school provided as example "healthy" nut free snacks. It pretty much contained only low fat cookies, cakes, and chips. Since when does low fat automatically mean healthy?Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315115922115064168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609384978270256120.post-80699670349276808302009-09-28T07:51:20.694-04:002009-09-28T07:51:20.694-04:00Laura, I love Vegan Lunchbox!

The director of my boys' preschool has a daughter with food allergies, and she's very against food bans so this year my boys are in school where anyone can bring peanut/nut products! It's a little unnerving, but I see the point. Last year my boys were in a school with a nut ban, but more than once I saw wrappers of things like Honey Nut Cheerio bars in the trash. So I'm just not sure how effective a nut-ban is, not to mention that it just lulls everyone into a false sense of security.<br /><br />And don't even get me going about the AWFUL parents who think it's their kid's god-given right to eat PB&J every day who will lie and say they packed a soybean butter sandwich even though it's peanut butter. It's because of these terrible, evil people that you're forced to pack things in original packaging.What A Cardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172499250110582833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609384978270256120.post-51649547315324890872009-09-27T14:38:34.967-04:002009-09-27T14:38:34.967-04:00I wish we could do this, but our school requires t...I wish we could do this, but our school requires that all snacks be individual servings in original packaging so that they can verify the ingredients. I know several of the preschool options we looked at had the same requirement. The only exceptions are fresh fruit and veggies.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315115922115064168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609384978270256120.post-81886063358200039782009-09-27T12:43:05.100-04:002009-09-27T12:43:05.100-04:00I forwarded this to a friend who is starting to pa...I forwarded this to a friend who is starting to pack lunches for her son.
