'Food police' shame pre-schooler for snacking on piece of chocolate cake

A less contentious controversy, but still an important issue, how do we encourage healthy eating, without alienating people...

Quote:

A South Australian mother was shamed for sending her child to kindergarten with a slice of cake, causing an online stir from other parents who rallied against the pre-school’s “nanny rules”. A note was sent home with the pre-schooler alerting the child’s parents the chocolate slice was “from the red category” and suggested they “choose healthier options”.
