I am reading the book Miss Hickory(by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey) to my dd(6)- wonderful little book(the kind where they learn a bit from the story) The story makes it sound like the cock pheasant leaves the hen(maybe even is hostile toward her) in the fall and returns in the spring- does this happen among pheasants and if so why? TIA

Actually, I thought my reply reflected a value of healthy eating- it's a question of who decides? What if I don't think all the sugar in yogurt is healthy for my child? And yes, I do think my autonomy for my children trumps the "value" of a school or any other govt. entity.

"Are you saying you would prefer that kids have unlimited choice to whatever strikes their fancy for lunch? Is that what you would want for your kids? What do you think most kids would choose if given the option?" No, a variety of CHOICES(implies one gets to make a decision), but I ask you, who then decides what is healthy?
