[CnD] School Treats and Related Issues!

Here in Canada our laws are very similar in many ways. But the reasons given by our schools and other officials tell us that the main reason is related to the increase in allergic reactions by some children to specific types of food contents. For example, since about 1 in 100 people may have some allergy to peanuts, it is now illegal for anyone to supply peanuts, or peanut butter, or any food with any peanut content to any child outside their own home. The reason they state that packaged foods are necessary is theoretically to allow the teacher, or other supervisory staff, to read the contents to determine if the child should be allowed to keep that particular item. I suppose the fear is that if any child has a food product that may contain anything anyone might be allergic to, there is a possibility that the allergic child could come in contact with that item and suffer health problems in the process. One question I must ask myself is, why would someone's allergic child come in contact with my child's lunch? Is theft so rampant now that it's simply expected that anything taken to a school by my child is more than likely to be taken from him by another child?

Re: [CnD] School Treats and Related Issues!
Now, there are schools that are going to ban kids from even bringing flaming hot cheetos to school. The snacks will be confiscated. Their reasoning? The snacks have no nutritional value, they are salty, and studies have shown that they, might???, have the same effects on kids as alcohol or drugs. The key word was separated by punctuation, including those question marks. In other words, they're not sure about the findings yet. Come on, you idiots! To a certain point, isn't the term healthy snacks an oxymoron? What is the purpose of a snack? It's supposed to taste good! If it is healthy, so much the better, but does it have? to be?? Schools should focus on education, and they should not be nutrition police. We don't pay them to keep our kids healthy. We pay them to educate our kids, and they're not doing that, either! It's getting ridiculous! Parents should take care of the kids' diets, and schools should take care of kids' education. They should work together for the betterment of the kids, but the schools, in this case, are going way! to! far! -- If you live in the United States, are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

Here in Canada our laws are very similar in many ways. But the reasons given by our schools and other officials tell us that the main reason is related to the increase in allergic reactions by some children to specific types of food contents. For example, since about 1 in 100 people may have some allergy to peanuts, it is now illegal for anyone to supply peanuts, or peanut butter, or any food with any peanut content to any child outside their own home. The reason they state that packaged foods are necessary is theoretically to allow the teacher, or other supervisory staff, to read the contents to determine if the child should be allowed to keep that particular item. I suppose the fear is that if any child has a food product that may contain anything anyone might be allergic to, there is a possibility that the allergic child could come in contact with that item and suffer health problems in the process. One question I must ask myself is, why would someone's allergic child come in contact with my child's lunch? Is theft so rampant now that it's simply expected that anything taken to a school by my child is more than likely to be taken from him by another child? Yes, the entire issue is a definite statement about what our society is becoming. At 05:54 AM Thursday 10/18/2012, you wrote: Wow, it's really sad!!! - Original Message - From:

Here in Canada our laws are very similar in many ways. But the reasons given by our schools and other officials tell us that the main reason is related to the increase in allergic reactions by some children to specific types of food contents. For example, since about 1 in 100 people may have some allergy to peanuts, it is now illegal for anyone to supply peanuts, or peanut butter, or any food with any peanut content to any child outside their own home. The reason they state that packaged foods are necessary is theoretically to allow the teacher, or other supervisory staff, to read the contents to determine if the child should be allowed to keep that particular item. I suppose the fear is that if any child has a food product that may contain anything anyone might be allergic to, there is a possibility that the allergic child could come in contact
Re: [CnD] Schwans and Holiday Items, Catalog and Extra Pamphlet mentioning products and recipes!
You have to be kind of careful and it is convenient. With my kitchen renovations going on lately, I am limited in what I can cook. I do like their pot pies. I get much more filled up when I have them than the ones I was buying at the store. It has not hrut me financially because I spend about 40 to 70 dollars every two weeks and I still have a lot of my food budget to spend at local stores. And I am well within my food budget. Because I am by myself now and not trying to feed a family of four I have a lot more of a comfortable margin to treat myself now. But certain things I will have only once and then try to copy them. That is also how I have fun. Also I can check in my grocery store and see if I can get comparable items at a savings to me. I would not get the meats because I know of several places around here where I can get great deals on meats. . - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2012 12:25 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Schwans and Holiday Items,Catalog and Extra Pamphlet mentioning products and recipes! What you get for the price, Schwans is too expensive for my budget.

OK. I have not taken the time to try to look at that catalog with my Optacon but it is a beautiful glossy catalog and I thought about giving it to Ron or something after I looked at it. I probably will just keep it. \I just remembered that I also have those two bread dough loaves. That is one of the first things I will do is to bake a loaf of that bread.

I also called; it is not the holiday catalog; the catalog for that is dated November and December. This extra thing is a little pamphlet with recipes and names of the holiday products, and they can be used in the recipes, and perhaps a coupon or two or three. The man said those said products mentioned in that small pamphlet are also listed in the shopper's catalog, which is in braille and cd. Dated November and December.

Now, there are schools that are going to ban kids from even bringing flaming hot cheetos to school. The snacks will be confiscated. Their reasoning? The snacks have no nutritional value, they are salty, and studies have shown that they, might???, have the same effects on kids as alcohol or drugs. The key word was separated by punctuation, including those question marks. In other words, they're not sure about the findings yet. Come on, you idiots! To a certain point, isn't the term healthy snacks an oxymoron? What is the purpose of a snack? It's supposed to taste good! If it is healthy, so much the better, but does it have? to be?? Schools should focus on education, and they should not be nutrition police. We don't pay them to keep our kids healthy. We pay them to educate our kids, and they're not doing that, either! It's getting ridiculous! Parents should take care of the kids' diets, and schools should take care of kids' education. They should work together for the betterment of the kids, but the schools, in this case, are going way! to! far! -- If you live in the United States, are you better off than you were 4 years ago?
