I don't make the rules at my school. I've stopped squawking about the yogurt with high fructose corn syrup they serve as snack food, for instance. Sometimes we have to make small concessions to the greater world in which we live. I make up for it by giving my kids all kinds of subversive messages about real kids. I trust that readers of the Food Renegade site will be able to distinguish between the things they want to incorporate into their own lifestyles. Would you care to take a guess how many schools use Purell? And, no, I don't think we're being obsessive when it comes to trying to maintain hygeine around food preparation in an institutional setting such as an elementary school. Dana, welcome to my world.
