People are so hyper focused on one sticking point.

It's NOT about using food IN things.
It's NOT about actual food.
It's NOT about food waste/starving kids

It's about cultural respect and teaching children how other cultures value things we don't or perceive things differently than others.

Clearly as a society we don't view food the same way as others do. It's deeper than the actual bin of rice or beans.

It's not a black and white topic where you either use food or you don't. It's a much bigger broader subject with meaningful thoughts, ideals and concepts regarding how we use foods in the early childhood environment.

It's about attitudes and ideals we convey to children in the process of teaching and supporting diversity and cultural awareness.
