Doesn't sugar free Jell-O have aspartame or splenda in it? Personally, I would rather my kid have Jell-O with sugar than either of those. If it's the latter, than I wouldn't mind the "just Jell-O" option at present time for my kid (not at all picky) and at her age, however, I can't say this will be the same when she develops stronger preferences. I also think it never makes sense to offer just 1 option!

By the way, I love the healthy shift... even so, I do realize that (especially) while on vacation, people have the desire to indulge. I think they need to offer both sides of the spectrum.

Sugar-free Jell-o has aspartame, and I would much prefer kids have foods sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) than aspartame. I feel Splenda is better than sugar, too. Sugar is just about the worst thing you can feed to children. Unfortunately, I don't know of any gelatin sweetened with Splenda.

Just a quick question. When was your last trip on the DDP with your kids? It seems that most of the complaints are coming since the new year. Just wondering...

We were there Jan 18-24, 2007, October 1-7, 2006 and September 24-Oct.4, 2006, all on DDP. Maybe we just lucked out with our CS choices, but I don't even remember the Jello. We doubled up on our sides several times (2 grapes, applesauce or carrots), but usually the kids could not eat it all, much less dessert! Pinnochio's let us ALL have milkshakes for dessert - a big fave in our family. CS desserts are not a big issue to us, since there are so many great snacks available, as well as the TS desserts. And wherever available I always asked for rice krispies since I could just drop them in my bag for later. Honestly, our kids rarely asked for snacks, the meals kept them so full! And more often than not, they didn't even eat much of the TS dessert! And they all have a sweet tooth!
