s/o poll for fun -- On a typical week, how many days does your K-3rd grader eat PB&J for lunch at school (either ordering it there or in a lunch that you pack)?
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Never or almost never due to taste/diet preference
Never due to my child's nut allergies
Never due to school or classroom being nut-free (but my own kid isn't allergic)

At least 4 sometimes 5. I can send another sandwich but it doesn't get eaten.

Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions
My older DD does not actually like PB. She does eat soynut butter and she brings that usually once a week. This week it was twice, but that was a fluke.
Younger DD likes soynut butter, but prefers PB. I try to alternate them so that she continues to eat both. So about every other week. There are some classrooms at her preschool/daycare that are nut free, but hers is not. The school is considering going nut free, but they are a kosher school and the kids already cannot bring in meat, so they are somewhat hesitant about banning yet another protein.
(FWIW, PB&J is on our public school lunch menu as an option every day.)

Didn't vote because I dont' have a kid that age but truth be told, *I* have a PB&J once or twice a week .
DD - 8
DS - 5
DS1 and DS2 have some nut allergies and don't eat nuts. They do eat Sunbutter a couple of times a week.

DD's not yet in K, so I didn't vote, but she's still in preschool and she takes pb&j about once a week, maybe not as often in the winter when she takes more hot lunches.

I voted for the last option, "never, b/c .. nut free school" but that's not really true. Our school isn't peanut free but out of consideration for families with allergies, I decided that my kids could do without peanut butter during school hours.

Well, the poll should really be how many days do I SEND a PB&J to school. Because the likelihood of it being EATEN is an entirely different matter. LOL!

DS is pre-K but eats a lot of peanut butter - we're mostly vegetarian and nuts are our major source of protein during the day for all of us.
I just purchased almond butter for school lunches b/c it's a peanut-free building (the almond butter is twice as much $$ as peanut butter so otherwise I wouldn't buy it).
