Snack Insanity

This organized snack thing has clearly gotten out of hand.

By Zelda Gorman

Actually, when I was a kid, I vaguely remember having snack at games. We always had orange slices and we all did hang around to eat them. As a parent though, I keep thinking when do we out grow this stuff. Also, the kids can't wait until it's their turn to bring the snacks. It truly is insane.

Yup, the whole snack thing is totally out of hand. Better School Food has developed a better than average snack list and also has a great info sheet on why sports drinks are NOT a good idea for our kids. I don't understand why kids need a 20 oz bottle of windex-blue colored sugar water to play a minutes of soccer! Even professional sports players don't drink that stuff! The bright orange gatorade tub is filled with WATER ( and maybe a dash of salt).
