I occasionally eat cookies/treats brought in by my 3rd graders and past 3rd graders (only occasionally because I'm watching my weight). I don't worry about the kitchen the treat comes from and I haven't died yet! In fact, I haven't had any of my students die from eating home cooking. Soooo....not a worry to me!
However, in my opinion, cookie exchanges are for the young...especially the young with children. Perhaps this is why Cassie is so gun-ho trying to organize this event.
Just my opinion, but I've been there and done that and am past that at my age.
P.S...if you are overweight then a cookie exchange is not a good idea. Think about the health implications plus the caloric value. We need to be more conscious of healthy eating at our age.
