A few days ago The Huffington Post published an article I wrote here about the snacks parents are bringing kids after their games. C’mon folks! Why all the sugar after soccer? This is something that has to end and can with your help. I am sending letters to my local soccer group to set standards on what can be brought to our fields. I encourage you to do the same. Feel free to use the article I wrote as help and support for your message. Parents that would never think about stuffing themselves with sugar after their workout should insure their kids aren’t either.
I am a pediatric dietitian who will eat and allow my kids to have cookies, brownies and cupcakes on occasion. Much of their exposure to these foods is during birthday parties or holiday celebrations, but they also eat sweet treats in the house that I make myself.
