TIL that 4 out of 5 toddler foods are ultraprocessed. Nearly half fail to meet nutrition standards

      Just cut up fruits and vegetables. They love those. No need to get special toddler snacks. Raisins are healthier than fruit snacks. The ultra processed foods are mostly sold for their convenience, and should be used sparingly.

          Exactly.

          Shop the outer ring of a grocery store, not the shelves.

          (I say this as I chow down a bag of potato chips)

            Uh oh, raisins are processed food!

                They may be processed, but they aren’t ultra processed.

              Toddlers don’t need special foods; they can and should eat the same things we do

                  Well when the adults don’t know how to cook and eat like shit already…

                  Foods “sold for” toddlers.

                    Processed foods are processed.

                      I have a hard time being outraged on this one…… it’s a list of foods we avoided for our kids when they were toddlers. It was never hard to see that they should be avoided

                        Gotta get them used to eating shit from a young age, I guess.

                          Pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, peanut butter.

                          I can’t think of the fifth food, but I guess it’s the healthy one.

                                And here I am trying to find a chemist that has infant rice. My daughter will be so healthy and so safe from every virus that she will never get the immunity to the virus… I hate my wife a little bit because she won’t let our daughter take on the smallest generic viruses to build immunity.
