I have often been known to agree a lot with a lot of topics but I have to say with this one I have some different views. Keep it up though and stand your ground with your principles.

I agree with Kellie… bake sales shouldn’t have to be banned altogether, moderation should be taught. I believe that inactivity is also a leading cause of child obesity. It is just so hard being a parent these days… life is so demanding that many parents don’t have time to be active with their children, or have forgotten how to implement an active life-style altogether. Dr. John E. Mayer has come out with a great book titled, “Family Fit,” that teaches parents great activities to do with their children as well as great nutritional information. I would rather schools educate parents and children then to do away with fun activities- bake sales are very beneficial and a lot of fun.

As a Registered Dietitian, I believe we have gone a little overboard with banning bake sales. If we teach our kids how to lead an overall healthy lifestyle, we can enjoy all foods in moderation. We need to focus our efforts on teaching parents how to make healthy choices in 4 main areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management and sleep.
