I agree. One of my contract policies states that any specialty food must be provided by the parents. However, I did have a little girl with a nut allergy and I read every label on every bread and cracker product, etc. to be safe for her but her parents provided the soy peanut butter for everyone instead of regular peanut butter. It wasn't bad at all since I cook almost everything from scratch. I have a little boy in care now with a lactose allergy and his parents bring his milk and cheese. It isn't in my budget for money or for my time to prepare specialty food.
