So my kid's pediatrician says Rice Krispy Treats are OK to snack on, but......

whoaa, 7 pages about rice krispie treats. We all (myself included) have way too much time on our hands. Just wanted to say that the homemade ones really aren't that bad. yes there is butter and sugar - but way less than the bought ones that are just full of of sugar and nastiness and are more like candy bars. The homemade ones in a 2" square would have so little butter and marshmallow per a treat that the the ratio to cereal would almost make it worth it to get the cereal in.

I don't really believe that your pediatrician considers a rice krispie treat to be healthy. I also don't believe that your kids' school refused to serve a birthday snack for that reason. I could see if they were homemade and those are not allowed. My school will not allow homemade food items. But they will allow store-bought cookies or donuts even though they prefer healthy snacks.

Wow, You must not have a kid in the public school system. They are so weird about rules and foods and policies these days they have all but lost their grip on reality. Not only would I believe they wouldn't serve the treats and not give a damn about the kids feelings, but I also believe that if the cut of the treats remotely resembled a weapon, they would expel the kid and or have them arrested.
