90+ kids actually. Dried fruit and seaweed are both on the list. Sadly we decided to not include trail/nut mixes because too many kids brought up themselves or siblings having tree nut allergies. Most of the kids didn’t like the idea of including granola/protein bars because the ones without tree nuts are honestly kind of bad and also generally not fun. The methodology for this program I think actually covers any genuine concern you might have about food wants being met outside of the fact that we can’t ship vegetables. If you have any ideas for solutions about further concerns you might have please let me know! Otherwise we have opted out of food policing a community that has higher chances of developing restrictive eating disorders than the rest of their peers. - Sedum

So it's the adults that don't allow healthy food?

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension before engaging further. I really appreciate some of your questions and being able to answer them and talk about how wonderful our youth leadership is. I would also suggest looking into some stuff around intuitive eating as it sounds like you are experiencing a lot of internalized food shame. Best of luck to you on your learning/healing journey!
