My kindy has a "nude food" (no rubbish) policy, which I think is great and we don't eat much processed food so that is fine with us. It also has a no sweets rule - nothing other than fruit, not even home baked muffins etc. Again, that suits our style of eating well.

Then there are the allergy restrictions: no peanuts (fairly used to that), no tree nuts (again, common), no eggs (that made it hard to do savoury muffins and meant mini quiche were off the menu). But this year, they have added no dairy. All the allergy restrictions are because there are children with severe allergies attending the kindy.

What do you think of having a no peanuts, no tree nuts, no eggs and no dairy policy?

I'd like to see what a vegetarian or vegan family packed for their kids!

I really do feel for families with allergies (my DS2 had a dairy allergy until 21 months) and I of course will follow the guidelines, but I can't help feel annoyed. Would you?
