To ask you not to use "reindeer food" containing glitter?

These are being sold in my local supermarket for charity.

This is my first Christmas as a mum so I've never come across the phenomenon of "reindeer food" before (was always a carrot when I was a kid).

I was horrified at the amount of glitter in it - especially given all the recent publicity regarding the harm plastic microbeads are doing to the environment. This stuff is a hazard to wildlife and the wider ecosystem.

If you fancy a bit of sparkle you can get shimmery sugar stuff for baking that dissolves in water. Something like this one here

We pretended it was reindeer pooh so quite festive.

Maybe it WAS reindeer pooh and Rudolph had staged a dirty protest.

Seeing as I munched on the carrot and DP had the cookie and milk, it's safe to say we're sticking to edible stuff Grin.

How can people be so stupid. It’s hideously tacky anyway. Not everything needs glitter on it.
