but is it organic as fuck?

Another day. Another bender at pre-school. Today the kids seemed rather high strung. Maybe it is the wind and rain we have had the past few days. They got worked up over a lot. Senor Onion wasn't at his best. Yeah. Eventually everyone sorted out their ya-yas. The parent in charge of snack this week is worried that the kids aren't getting enough protein in their snack. She mentioned that her son comes home exhausted and she blames it on the lack of protein. He is three. He has spent the morning having a good time. He is supposed to be a little worn out. Plus it is snack. Not lunch. The whole point of snack is more for the social experience, trying new things and being independent. (They pour their own water, hand out snacks, put away their dishes/mats) This Mom is pretty nice if a little wound up at times. Her son is a real sweetie. Anyways for snack she threw down with ham, pineapple, peas and these gluten-free brownie things... (we have a kid with gluten allergies) The kids loved the ham and pineapple. They did not touch the peas. The brownie things.... well the kids ate them because hey they are brownie things. I tried a taste and they were truly awful. Never trust the taste of three year olds. They will eat chalky brick things if they taste faintly of chocolate. This brings up another interesting note. The teacher and I giggled because one kid was going crazy for the chocolate brownie things. (I can't call them a brownie because those awful things weren't brownies. They were...things.) He ate a few pieces of pineapple and the things. The kid's Mother had mentioned a few times at parent meetings that she is concerned about nutrition and hopes the kids aren't eating junk food and things like costco muffins. And yet there was her son with a ring of chocolate around his mouth. I would say that over all the kids eat a rather well-rounded snack. A lot of fruit and veg and fun things. It is always interesting to see what gets a parent worked up in terms of food.

There is the wicked part of me that wants to bring in pixie sticks and kool-aid and say, "and there are free puppies afterward" and just watch everyone have seizures.

An amusing article on doing a cleanse. I like the author's honesty about choosing a juicing cleanse based on the label and fonts.
