There was a segment on Good Morning America this morning about a mother of 2 who protests junk food being served to her kids in school. Read the story here. Essentially she believes that permission slips should be signed by parents before any child can be given sweets or any other junk food for any reason at school (birthdays, holidays, etc). She even gives her kids special containers to bring the junk food home from school to show her what was being served in the classroom. Apparently this mom’s own mother and grandmother were obese and had many health problems. She does not want her own children to experience the same health problems as they grow.
She’s got a point. But does she take it too far? Read the article, watch the video and then click on the link to voice your own opinion to ABC news. It’ll be interesting to see the input from other parents.
The story first appeared in the New York Times. You can read it here.
