The "free from" aisle in the supermarkets in the UK now just seems to mean gluten-free. The dairy-free shelf space is being shrunk in favour of gluten-free biscuits,cakes, breakfast cereals and other completely unnecessary and nutritionally void stuff. Personally I buy gluten by the kilo and add it to stuff. But I can only buy it online, my health food store used to stock it but it has gone recently. I bet they had loads of people go up to them and say, "how can you stock this in a health food store? It's poison, you know ...".

Fruit snacks but no real fruit? What moronic thinking is this? Bananas, apples, pears etc aren't expensive. You should take in some vegetable sticks and homemade salsa for the snack table. Show them how it's really done.

Lots of nuts don't actually have much sodium. Most of those nuts are just salted. Find some unsalted ones, and they should have a reasonable amount.
Also, candy fruit made with real fruit juice... Yeah, umm, no that's still not healthy. And even bothering with gluten for something like that is pointless.

Why is diabetes always used? I've had type one diabetes since I was 9 y/o and obviously that not weight related. I wish they'd have a different name for type two. But I love this story can't wait for more! What's with the whole nuts thing though... Maybe get unsalted ones like???

They are just idiots that don't know what real food is. salt isnt even bad for you anyways.
