Fwd: Re: SCD son pulled out of snacktime at school, is this the ...

[Guest guest]

Cyn,

I read your story and recalled very similar experiences with my twin boys

when we tried GF/CF in elementary school. The class was full of pizzas, sodas,

chips on all occasions.... and there were my and Connor with their rice

cakes and water. That's why we dumped the GF/CF, it was too heartbreaking.

Fast forward to high school. They are currently in 9th grade and go to

school in San Diego...The teachers are all on board with us and SCD...and even

some parents are asking me questions....point of story is that our school

district has implemented that no food may be brought to classes (other than

lunches). No Halloween candy, no Christmas goodies...nada.

Then, when they go on a field trip and say Mcs is involved, the

teachers let me know ahead of time and I go pick the boys up from school and we

go

to the dollar store where they can buy whatever they want and eat their

veggie-turkey burger and butternut squash french fries en-route. I then

deliver

the boys back to school very happy and content with no Mcs involved..

I am hoping more school districts adopt this policy. I am so sick of

holidays, birthdays, field trips being centered around food..

It's no wonder all these kids have all these problems..

my 2 cents

Cherie..SCD 2 months and rockin on!!

> Cherie,

I totally agree!! From my experience, it seems they start training

them at school to start with the junk food at the tender age of 3. No

wonder also that so many adults have health probs...which probably

explains the administrative/mainstream acceptance of a bad diet at

many schools.

This summer his school offered a breakfast program, and they were

eating pancakes with syrup, sugary juice, etc. They wanted my son at

school to be in time for this. I would feed him beforehand and we

would watch everyone else eat. At that time, he was " just "

GF/CF/SF. I only did that a couple times, and told them we would be

coming to school after breakfast from then on.
