Here is your friendly reminder that:
Meals can look different for different families.
The recommendation that parents "should" only make one meal (one, starch, veggies, one protein) is based on the assumption that all family members have the same feeding abilities, sensory needs and preferences.
Many parents need to accommodate their children and adapt their meals so all members can be adequately nourished.
Feeding a family is not easy, especially when you have kids with feeding differences.
Alt Text: Because sometimes, it's not possible to "just make one meal" for the entire family.

I am so tired of hearing the argument that eating sugar at lunch will prevent children from learning.
This is unscientific, and policies that endorse this idea are steeped in diet culture.
Alt text: If schools were that concerned about our children's education, they would make more effort to accommodate kids who deserve accommodation, provide ample time for play
and prioritize felt safety, especially for kids with learning differences and marginalized
identities. Implementing a "no sugar policy"
is not what is going to enhance learning.
