don't feel badly about not bending to the corporate will. we don't do it either- everything is either from scratch or a whole foods/organic line, though i have to say from you entries that it sounds like you do a better job. the only cereal we buy is a lower sugar budget brand cheerios knock off because it makes for easy snacking. we also do our best to limit our contribution to the waste chain, hence a lovely note from the student teacher telling me that our reusable containers of non sugary snacks were too difficult for my daughter to open. i just keep telling myself we are leading by example. i won't be goaded into feeding my family junk food and loading our schools up with brand names just for a relatively small corporate donation. i dunno, that would feel like selling my soul- and the kids' as well.
