I am a lot less pedantic about this nowdays for some reason and it may be to do with working... but a bad compromise has been to send lots of junk with one because he hates bread, wraps, etc ... and wont even eat homemade pizza scrolls/savouries unless hot!!!!! So he is the reason for my downfall!!! Sometimes i would be better off giving him $5 a day so he buys a chicken burger at the canteen!!! Since he has started eating porridge for breaky and has a big healthy tea i am not too fussed. He has too many friends with too much money so he often gets shouted food on the way home from the city... sadly!!! I dont think I could have resisted that at 14 either.. all part of learning i guess Realising i have gotten off the topic as always .. good nite..

My boys used to take 2 home made snacks to school everyday & I had a freezer full of little bags of goodies. Now, I have had 2 give in & they generally take things from the supermarket. Normally they have an LCM split stick & a Special K Bar. Sometimes I will buy neenish tarts from Aldi for them as well. I am trying to do some baking - they now have enough choc choc chip muffins for the rest of the week. But I now admit I can't do it all & so this is something I am letting go of. I will try to bake when I can, but I am not going to find guilty if I can't. But there are some things I won't buy, like rollups I wouldn't worry too much - as long as they like it & it isn't full of nasties it is fine. oooh, I so understand this.

And of course I'm confident that your children are eating very healthy meals at the breakfast and dinner tables, so a sweetish health bar is fine. If this was the only nutrition they had during the day I'd worry, but knowing you as I do (sort of) I can rest easy. Just try to avoid prepared foods that have a long list of unrecognisable or unpronounceable foods in their nutrition panel.
