Parents Beware
PARENTS BEWARE
If your daycare has a “cook”, it does not necessarily mean that your cook truly cooks, at least not in the old fashioned way! Most of the food could be from cans or “TV dinner” like processed foods, which the cook just warms up and puts it on a plate.
Examples from Toronto Municipal Daycares: canned boiled potatoes, canned soup, canned fruit (no peeling or cutting required), frozen fried eggs or frozen boiled eggs,
In today society’s push towards streamlining job requirements, making everything quick and easy, and perhaps reducing the numbers of workers required, our children’s health has become the externality.

Nowdays, cooks are often can-openers and food-warmers, not actual cooks who prepare food from scratch.This practice unfortunately only increases the exposure in young children to bisphenol A, phthalates, and BHT, etc from the food packaging, and the artificial additives and preservatives added to processed foods that have to maintain “attractive” colors and flavours and have long shelf lives.
