What are your thoughts about this message passed on to me via our footy club. This is for Auskick (child who plays is 6).
Oranges
We have been advised by the district that oranges are not recommended whilst playing sport due to the acid content. They suggest glucose eg. lollies, snakes, jelly babies etc.
Not to mention the food sold at the club rooms after a game - hot chips, lollies, soft drink, sausages in a bun, egg and bacon burgers, pies, sausage rolls etc. This is not a dig at our footy club more a request for your opinion. I wonder if I am the only parent that cringes at the types of food that are sold at children's sporting clubs??
