    Can I ask why? You are feeding them nothing but crap, white flour, sugar and more sugar.

    SMH - Sorry, but this irritates me to no end.

    Why not a huge fruit salad or something that has some actual nutrition for small growing bodies and developing bones and brains?????

    Its the kids birthday! Im sure you had treats on your birthday and I would hope the OP wouldn't feed her kid that sort of food every day lol.

    Paleo, are you kidding me? It's a birthday treat. I feed my kids fruit, veggies, lean meats and whole grains. But I am not a mean enough mom to not allow delicious treats for birthdays. That's why it's called a treat, not a food.

    Yesterday, for his birthday party, they had cake and they had strawberries and blueberries at the party after bouncing. They all ate the fruit too.

    If you don't get to eat stuff like this every once in a while as a kid, when do you get to eat it?

    I agree that kids should have good treats for their birthday. No offense but, I would pass those up. They don't look good at all. Just my opinion.

    Never, thank goodness.

    Personally, I think those look like an AMAZING birthday treat.
    As adults we know better and we understand the types of foods we should and should not eat, but I don't think there is one person that can say they haven't had sweets when they were a child.
    I agree children should be eating healthy and learning about nutrition at a young age, but let kids be kids for just a little while longer. It is all too often that children are forced to grow up and act like little adults before they are even old enough to drive. So who cares about one little birthday treat!!!

    Did any of you go to Kindergarten?

    I'm asking because that is where I learned "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

    Maybe you choose to live a life with NO white flour and NO processed sugar, but that does not make it wrong for people to eat these things, frequently or infrequently. Most daycares also allow parents to ask that their child not be given extra treats, so each parent there probably has the power to choose whether their child eats that treat, or one they send.

    I think that looks like a perfectly fine TREAT for children. Not a daily snack maybe, but a TREAT. As for being healthy, not every person holds the same food morals as others, but given a world where Wal-Mart made trans-fat laden cupcakes are the norm, this would be on the healthier spectrum of dessert.

    I think they look great for a treat!

    Nothing irritates me more than a HUGE cupcake with a veritable FLOAT of processed " frosting ' on top, sprayed with chemical colourant.. bleeeeeech. My kids won't eat cupcakes made at the store.

    But they'd eat those pretzels! NOM!

    I'm guessing When they are old enough to go buy it themselves and then gorge themselves on junk because they never got to have any treats as kids.....

    They look yummy, by the way, I'm sure the kiddies will love them :-)

    I'd rather those than a cupcake be handed to a kid. It's a birthday treat! Leave those kids and their pretzel sticks alone! More power to you OP!

    WTF!! :noway: And no toys either I hope - just something that stimulates their developing brains! lol
    Hope the kids enjoy the yummy looking treats and have a great day. Happy Birthday to your 4yr old.

    oh my god! i dont normally comment when something pisses me off but seriously?! its this kids birthday they're allowed a little something nice. and as a previous poster said - all the kids i know who had super pushey, innocent, health freak strict parents have all ended up going crazy on what they were deprived as soon as they were given the opportunity. if you make a huge deal out of treats they;'re just going to want them more. enough said.

    Some people are rude, and inconsiderate to say the least.
