Food Program - What?!

That is so scary. I've taken them off the menu since I posted this originally and just don't serve them to DCK anymore.

I've seen the same thing happen with a corn kernel. It can happen with any small food. Don't stop serving healthy foods because something might happen some day some where.

I quit the food program because I was spending way too much time on paperwork for too little return, especially since I essentially had to keep two menus, the real one, and then the FP one. Here, our program is all handwritten still. The upside is that you don't have a "food list" to worry about, but the down side, is hand writing EVERYTHING.


My real menu breakfast will say something like :

Milk
scrambled egg
strawberries
WW Toast

But then my FP Menu would say:

Milk
Strawberries
WW Toast

It was a huge pain. The milk thing was never a problem, because I always seem to have at least one doctor or NP in my daycare, and they'd write a note for anyone that wanted it.

BUT, I have parents that don't want their kids to have cow's milk for religious reasons etc.

Also, I should be able to serve yogurt instead of milk darn it. Grrrrr.

So, I just gave it up.

I read some where that its not the whole milk that is making our kids fat, its all the fast food and junk food. You can always withdraw from the food program. Why cant you serve home grown veges?

We CAN serve home grown veggies but we can't serve food that we've canned, I believe due to botulism risk.
