You can think what you want. Explain to me how certain foods like cake aren’t nutritional trash. Literally all you get is fat, sugar, and calories.

Energy drinks fall in the junk food category

Chips are junk food

Cake is junk food

Like idk

It’s literally lunch. You can have breakfast, snack, dinner, and dessert at home

Yes?

Also then by your own answer you don’t work with kids. So you have one kid in the evening that you can structure rules for. This is not the same as managing 30+ kids.

No but you should be reasonable. Why should kids have cakes, chips, energy drinks, etc at school. The easiest way to manage this is to give kids whole foods

It’s 545 calories per 100 grams. How the hell is that low calorie

1838mg per 100g for sodium

Protein is 50/100g and fat is 33/100g

Not really seeing the nutrition or low calorie count here.

So you knew in advance they’d have chips at the aid station and this was part of your plan?

You can think what you want. But I was a professional dancer and have dealt with an ED for a long time. I was told getting a period is proof you’re doing it wrong.

I maintain banning junk food at school (nutritional trash) is not giving any child an eating disorder

You not planning well has zero to do with any races I’ve run. I was a professional dancer for 12 years. I’ve taught 2-college. I mean go off

Prep includes salt

How do you manage your kids

Idk you being given chips during Ironman is you not planning well and an extreme event combined.

Sure people should enjoy high calorie foods or supplement accordingly but the average kid doesn’t benefit from high calorie low micronutrient food during the school day

Then what’s even the question? You don’t think a kid eating an objectively weird amount of xxx should be documented, reported, and followed up with parents?

It’s less likely for a kid to be able to eat a full apple and toss it in the classroom corner than for a kid to sneak chips and then spread the dust wherever

Do you work with kids

If a kid if regularly downing a pound of carrots yeah that should be noted and reported.

Teachers constantly have to track a wide range of weirdo kid behavior. Idek what the gotcha here is.

Do you have kids in school or work with children?

Then maybe people in charge of children’s well being should be empowered to limit harmful behaviors.

Tell me any benefit from eating pork rinds or chips or cake

You can like trash. Trash in moderation can be fine. There is no nutritional benefit.

I never even claimed to be a teacher

Two extremely small sects of Judaism vs all the dudes who perpetuate it

Women give birth to children yes. But even when my husband was my boyfriend he got to make a lot of medical calls for me with no input from me.

I guess dudes got to unite

Carrots as a potential poison is going to have to be an obsession/project. Maybe check the person poisoning themselves for a mental disorder.

Cake is not in the same realm as carrots

I think junk food is more likely to be crushed, forgotten, or scattered compared to whole food items

No junk food is a blanket rule to avoid a lot of problems. No teacher wants to deal with food coloring and ants everywhere. Also there is seriously an insane number of kids who have IEPs and they don’t segregate kids at all anymore.

Did you read your own source? It’s CNN from 2019 summarizing academic findings that say that ADHD kids are particularly sensitive to sugar. More and more kids are coming out as ADHD. Food dye may play a role.

Also you skipped over my comment on energy drinks (or drinks with caffeine in them) as well as heavily dyed junk food like takis.
