Name: Jane Rosenberg on Mar 13, 2010Comments: DORITOS and POP-TARTS instead of banana bread and pumpkin muffins? And this from the same Mayor who banned indoor smoking and encourages and supports city cycling??? You certainly know better, so what can the problem be? Perhaps looking out for your corporate chums at Kellogg's and Pepsi Cola on this one? Shame on you, Mayor Bloomberg. You know better.Flag

Name: Kim Gledhill on Mar 13, 2010Comments: As a parent of a child at Children's Workshop School, I've been highly involved in fundraising, and I know what a huge difference the sale of home-made food makes. While some might imagine home-made food sales at school as including nothing more than sugar-laden sweets, our parents frequently make dishes like fresh vegetable dumplings, California rolls, Minestrone soup, whole wheat calzone, and yes—banana bread. This is not to say we don't also make cookies and brownies-we do—but we use real ingredients like milk, flour and eggs. Many of us do not regularly buy processed junk food for our children, and most of us cringe at the idea that these are sanctioned foods touted as "healthy" options, while our honestly wholesome food is condemned as unacceptable. Children learn by what they see. And we don't want them to see processed garbage being embraced as healthy eating choices.Flag

Name: Elizabeth Cohen on Mar 13, 2010Comments: The kinds of foods that we feed our children directly impact their learning potential. It is outrageous that the new Chancelor's regulation A-812 makes a mockery of this well known fact. The kinds of ingredients in the accepted foods for fundraisers under this regulation qualifies as pure junk food. We need to be teaching our children to develop healthy eating habits, not giving them the message that these foods are acceptable.Flag

Name: Carmen Lamar Daehler on Mar 13, 2010Comments: Come on guys! One of Michelle Obama's causes is fighting childhood obesity and your response to aiding in those efforts is to allow packaged junk foods in the schools. You must repeal this City wide ban. You will only add to the problem if you don't.Flag

They are a worthy fund raising vehicle for PTAs. This decision has no merit. Thank you for re-considering.Flag

Name: Susan E. Burger, MHS, PhD, IBCLC on Mar 13, 2010Comments: I would also like Chancellor Klein and Mayor Bloomberg to seriously consider creative ways of compensating for the fact that school crowding has led to insufficient physical activity being allowed for children in many, if not all, schools in New York City. In addition, the steady decline in school aides has led to inadequate opportunities for physical activity via recess. Desparate to maintain order with too few staff, school aides often resort to taking recess away from whole blocks of children because the staff to student ratio is too low to maintain order.Flag

Name: Laura Carroll on Mar 13, 2010Comments: Parents and school-based leadership, not corporations, should drive what kinds of foods our children are allowed to purchase and eat while at school. I don't want my tax dollars to pay for contracts with vendors that push packaged, processed foods filled with bad oils and high fructose corn syrup at our city's children who attend publicly-funded schools.Flag

School communities that share food together are pretty lively and engaging places. When is a brownie more than just a dessert? When it is homemade! When is a bag of Doritos more than just a product? Never.Flag

Name: Dunia Best Sinnreich on Mar 13, 2010Comments: I am horrified that we are being forced to sell food I repeatedly tell my son to avoid in order raise funds for his school. I am shocked that in this age of ADHD and childhood obesity that the very foods that help bring these conditions on are the only foods the city is allowing. I feel like the city is working hard to damage its children with every decision the chancellor makes.Flag
