If their goal is to reduce candy and dessert consumption, why are they providing it at all? Why not allow employees to bring it from home if they want to, but not become directly responsible for becoming peddlers for it?

When I ran a high school lunch program, I just didn't provide desserts since it's not healthy for students to develop a habit of having dessert with lunch.
