I think the public school here set a district-wide ban on handing out food... or at least junk food... as rewards or treats. It is their war on childhood obesity, I think.
I just know that the ladies at the district office tried to offer my kids candy, saying that they weren't supposed to because of school policies, but it would be okay if I said so. I managed to not lose my temper. 
As for that pizza party... that is just absolutely appalling. Talk about cruelty and exclusion.

check out Alfie Kohn, Punished by Rewards and other books and articles on this topic.
Of course, not everyone in education agrees with him but the evidence is there that rewards have negative effects.

Just started reading
"The Fattening of America: How the Economy Makes Us Eat, If It Matters, and What to Do About It"
by Eric A. Finkelstein and Laurie Zuckerman.
There's a whole section about childhood obesity and school.

It boggles my mind how any educator can be okay with leaving out a child from his/her class for an activity. What the heck is wrong with our educators?

Not to get too off track here, but DH saw that *itch this weekend. We were in the park lining up for the opening day parade, and she was talking to one of our coaches. She said "Hello, Mr. X, how are you?", and he said "I'm peanut-free!".
