So is it normal that chldren are not allowed to eat jam sandwhiches for lunch?

For DS's luch today I packed;

Tuna Sandwhich

Carrot sticks & homous,

Yougurt

A very small jam sandwhich with the crusts cut off.

I've never put in a jam sandwhich before, but have put in the odd digestive biscuit or mince pie.

DS tells me he wasn't allowed to eat the jam sandwhich, as they are banned, but they are allowed kitkats, he tells me. (no chance mate! )

So is this normal - are jam sanwhiches the work of the devil, even if they are organic bread with jam made by Granny?

Our kids private school sent a message home the other day banning all sorts of foods. No chocolate of any kind in any food. No crisps of any kind. No cakes of any kind.

I did wonder whether the Headmistress had ever tried to pack an interesting lunch box 5 days a week. Our kids get fruit, yoghurt and sandwiches with meat or cheese so I do not think a chocolate flavoured bar or small cake as a treat will hurt once day. The kids get pudding for lunch.

lol, belcanwait.
Our jam is actually fruit spread (sweetened with concentrated grape juice kind). So as long as the kids call it 'fruit spread' it will be alright, eh?
Thank goodness our school doesn't police lunch box content, anyway.
