Parents Justifying Picky Eaters!

Is this a state mandated law to serve juice with snack? does anyone have a link so I can check my state regarding this?

Hmmm...Im in VA...and we're just required to serve something from 2 of the four food groups. We're under a USDA food program. Also, I've been told that if you serve a fruit, you shouldn't serve juice as well.

I couldn't find the exact link...maybe its in here somewhere

In NY we have to serve 2 of the 4 groups. If we serve a fruit or veggie we can't serve juice. We have to serve water and another component.
