I'm wondering if the Food Police will be patrolling Mr. Third-Grader's lunchbox like they have in the past. I honestly think that I pack him a reasonably healthy lunch and snack every day. On a typical day he'll bring: 
- water to drink (he also buys 100% grape juice at school each day)
- turkey sandwich on a potato roll
- yogurt
- baby carrots
- money to buy a bag of chips at the snack table
- a sweet treat
It's that last item that got him in trouble one day, because I packed him 3 chocolate-covered pretzels. 3 pretzels dipped in some melted chocolate chips.
His teacher noticed the pretzels during morning-snack time and told him that he should not bring chocolate pretzels to school. He came home with the bag of pretzels still in the lunchbox.
I wonder if they can't bring those chocolate-covered granola bars. What about chocolate-chip cookies? Girl-Scout-cookie Thin Mints?
I bet if I sent him to school with a Capri Sun, Trix cereal, a Lunchable, Twinkies and Cheez Doodles, no one would bat an eye.
