Omg this drives me nuts! (no pun intended). The district I work in just established a NO FOOD AT ALL ban. We used to have an adorable program called "passports" to teach all about the world and cultures from all over. A big (huge) part of many cultures is the food. Parents would bring in family goodies from all over the world. It was awsome. Until... one parent complained (the child had several allergies) so the program was scrapped. I know it seems heartless but why should 350 kids be denied a great program for one? I think if it was my kid I'd just try to bring something he could eat!
