A Bright Idea: How to Eliminate Fried Food from Daycare Diets
How do you eliminate fried foods from the diets of children in daycare? Cynthia Lara, director of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, suggested a conversation with your fire marshal.
Frying food, Lara explained, requires an expensive commercial hood to meet fire code. Smaller, mom-and-pop childcare facilities often fry without one. Once alerted to this, a fire marshal will be glad to eliminate a safety hazard – and the kids in daycare will be healthier as a result.
Want to follow South Carolina’s example? Follow Lara’s advice: “check with your fire marshal!”

Do you have any thoughts on alternatives to the heat & eat fried foods that my granddaughter is exposed to at day care? My daughter thinks its quick and easy however I believe fried food is fried food. It was fried at one point. How can I help the daycare center learn more?
