Daily Talker: Cookie Controversy

A Colorado mother is demanding answers after her 4-year-old daughter was told by her teacher that she wasn't allowed to eat her Oreos.

The teacher at the Children's Academy in Aurora didn't find Natalee Pearson's lunch to be entirely healthy so she sent the cookies---and a note---home with the girl.

'She said, 'Mommy, I wasn't able to eat my cookies,'" said Leeza Pearson.

"They took it over the top, to say, 'The kid can't eat it. It was in her lunchbox, but you can't eat it today,'" Pearson said.  "They don't provide lunch for my daughter. I provide lunch. It's between me and the doctor in terms of what's healthy for her."

The note from the school said in part:

"This is a public school setting and all children are required to have a fruit, a vegetable, and a healthy snack from home, along with milk. If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it. Lunchables, chips, fruit snacks, and peanut butter are not considered to be a healthy snack."

What do you think of a teacher telling a 4 year old girl that she is not allowed to eat cookies?
