I hope it does apply to all snacks everyday. Assuming they get a snack time at like 10:00, what's wrong in only allowing it to be a healthy snack? If you want to eat unhealthy, wait until lunch. Meh, if gym class never existed and someone decided that for an hour a day students would be forced to partake in exercise that they may not like, the same people complaining about a time designated for a healthy snack would be having a ####fit over that.
Why not?
Also no indication it wasn't returned.
I don't disagree, but he was given the opportunity to partake. He could have ate an apple, he could have waited for lunch to eat his banana bread. Of course this is confusing for the child because the teacher is trying to teach students about healthy snacks while his mom doesn't understand, but this is more on the mother.
I was a fat kid even though I was active because I was a picky eater and ate gushers (which also had real fruit flavour!) for snacks and pizza pops and coke for lunch. I wish I had a policy that forced me to eat a healthy snack when I was his age.
There's an epidemic, half the population is overweight, a quarter are obese. Something needs to be done. Too many enablers nowadays, the idea that there's outrage that a 250 calorie "snack" with little nutritional value was taking away from a student during a healthy snack time, is the exact reason why we've reached the numbers we have.

Just because you had horrible parents doesn't mean that everyone is a horrible parent. You don't know anything about the kids diet other than he likes banana bread.
The way the teacher is dealing with the kid is far more likely to make him obese later in life than his mother giving him banana bread for a snack.
