    Nah there’s not enough sugar there to noticably impact kids behavior or bellies. It’s basically just a peanut butter banana sandwich with a dash of chocolate, which is downright health food for 5 year olds.

    If you really want to punish parents go for one of the “snacks” my MIL gave the kids: captain crunch cereal covered in frosting. I took one bite and the sugar concentration was enough to upset my stomach and leave me feeling very unhappy from the sugar spike and crash

      Ah you see the bananananas and Skippy and chocolate give a more sustained release of energy so the toddlers don’t crash and burn, they’re just happyhappyhappy! As long as they have freedom to move around, they can be channeled into good or at least harmless activity. Belt them into a carseat, however, and it fuels their frustration to keep the tantrum going all the way home.

      I agree that it’s not unhealthy for kids like it would be for an older more sedentary person.
