My kid's school lunch program bans mixing apple sauce with mashed potatoes.
That rule kills the chance for kids to discover awesome new tastes!

What? They actually forbid mixing apple sauce into mashed potatoes? That blows my mind. In my experience, some of the best food combos come from kids trying things out. It's a sweet and savory mix that might sound weird but can be really good. Your mileage may vary, but banning it just kills a simple joy. Take this with a grain of salt, but rules like that make lunch feel like a chore instead of a chance to explore.

You said rules make lunch a chore, @river_foster47, but is this one REALLY that serious? Schools have to deal with actual messes, like when kids mix everything into a gross pile on the tray. Apple sauce in potatoes might taste okay, but it can create a sticky situation fast. It's not about killing joy, it's about avoiding chaos. Letting kids explore is fine, but some rules just keep things from getting out of hand.

Totally agree, mixing foods made lunch fun, stupid rules ruin that.
