I.e., if you bring in cupcakes you also have to bring in a bag of apples. The school has also aggressively tried to get parents to bring in smaller sized treats for b-days, i.e., mini-cupcakes instead of the full sized ones. <br /><br />I'm lucky in that I live in a community progressive enough to push for these changes.

Then Supersize Me came out and some unpleasant news about childhood obesity. 180 degree turnaround. I was thrilled. When I was a kid (grumph grumph) it wasn't all these elaborate parties at school with candy, cupcakes and soda. Still not ideal but much better (kind of like how we eat at home).Larkspurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979771406792393848noreply@blogger.com
