Mmmmm... limiting food in curriculum... well, that one is a lovely idea, and don't I wish that there were a way to bring the same people around the big table and push that one forward as a group,--
Stakeholders there include:
a) childhood obesity advocates
b) diabetes advocates
c) nutrition advocates
d) food allergy advocates
e) religious organizations (some faiths have dietary restrictions)
Honestly-- all of those people would like food to be used only as FOOD, not as a "teaching" thing within classrooms, and definitely not as a "celebration" thing for birthdays, rewards, and at random.
But think about who is on the other side of that issue. They have emotions and numbers on their side. Unfortunately.
Those people also will scapegoat food allergic children if you manage to get changes implemented. It may not be worth it. (I say that from over a decade into this-- the bad will that some things generate weighs heavily on the side of 'not worth what it costs in human capital')
