Back in March and May, I wrote about the snacks at my daughter’s pre-school. I’m happy to say that the doughnut holes and Pop-Tarts are gone from the August snack menu, but the cheese puffs remain. Are they gone permanently? We shall see.

If gone permanently, is that a step in the right direction? Probably, since those seemed to be two of the three snack items that had the least amount of nutritional value. However, lots of processed food snacks remain on the menu that I wouldn’t feed to my child regularly, so we’ll continue to send a snack along with her.

And yes, lest you think we are too food-puritanical in our household, we do eat our own share of processed foods, and I often eat doughnut holes at our church when the nice ladies put them out after the service. I’ve not downed a Pop-Tart in a long time, however, and my waist line, already expanded, says thank you.
