Yeah I can't watch that shit lol.
I know it's hard sometimes to get kids to finish their dinner and eat healthy, etc. I was a fussy eater, I know. My mom dealt with it pretty firmly though, with a fair amount of patience thrown in there, considering how firm she could be about other disciplinary matters.
But I've seen some really spoiled kids, too. Some of them are absolute little monsters, and the spineless parents are to blame--if you can blame someone for being that weak?
I was shocked last time I was up in Daytona, to see a good friend of mine had her daughter make a fucking list of what she wanted for lunch. It was like a restaurant, with the mom as cook and waiter--only the kid had her making all kinds of different shit. This poor woman was really stressing at the time, too. Mostly it was fairly healthy stuff, but still. My mom or dad would have laughed like hell, and told me to make it myself.

I'm going to go ahead and call this a matter of opinion.
We had chickenz for years and, imo, chickens are easier than cats.
my mom raised chickens for a couple of years(over 300 total)....had more eggs than she could get rid of. That part was cheap, but raising them for meat, cost over double what you can get them for in the store. You need roosters to keep them in line, they were free range, but you still had to suppliment their diet...etc
Eggs...yes, cheap
Chicken meat...no, expensive

Thats another thing that kills me. Everyone is under the impression that healthy food is expensive. Juice actually cost the same as soda, yogurt is what? 60cents a piece? Eggs are very cheap yet highly nutritional.
???????
a gallon of OJ is about $6
a case of coke is about the same
128 oz in a gallon, 288 oz in a case of coke.
so its more than double the price. Now if you want organic juice its even more, and if you want more generic soda its even less. kool-ade etc is even less.

My sister in law gets a couple of stuff from their grocery isle. The one she goes to isn't bad at all. It looks fresh & not bad. I've bought some fresh fruit from there too. That's probably the only normal walmart i've ever been to too. lol. I guess it depends on the area.

The Mexican and Asian vegetable /fruit growers, and the Australian beef producers, thank you very much !
Of course, many of the fast food restaurants are now getting their fruits, vegetables and beef from the same offshore sources !

Growing up with a mostly Baltic European diet I had no weight issue's it wasn't the healthiest or tastiest food but that's one of the reason's I didn't stuff my face. I never grew up on soda or any kind of fake fruit juice. I only had 2 options water or tea. To this day i'm a avid tea drinker. But seeing these ghetto ass parents feeding garbage to they're kid's should be considered child abuse. I still don't understand the concept of people having kid's they can't afford?>:(

i really doubt that people are forgoing apples because they're too pricey, as much as they simply do not think it's that big of a deal, and also, rice krispie treats cereal is delicious. i know the main reason shitty food was purchased in my house growing up was because "the kids like it". i think there is an underestimation of parents keeping their children pleased with minimal effort (no offense to any of the parents here) and the mindset of "it's not THAT bad..."
and i say this as i drink sangria and eat frozen pizza. minimal effort to maintain my cheeriness + assumption that i will not have a heart attack in the next four hours
Ok, but ask a single mother working full time providing for 3 kids if she has the time or energy to garden? I'm glad you had a good experience eating well in a rural/ poor area but the majority do not.

That's what I meant. Egg laying chickens.
I could never have eaten one of the precious chickenz. *_* They were all too cute and sweet and cuddly and awesome.

My daughter eats toaster strudels for breakfast, sandwich, carrots and fruit for lunch with a sweet treat, and whatever I make for dinner, be it grilled chicken and salad or hotdogs (the Hebrew national ones-they're the healthiest I think) or a crock pot meal. She drinks odwalla green juice, soy milk with dha/ala, water and occasionally crystal light. Rarely does she get soda.
I think that's reasonable. She's also fairly active and doesn't watch a lot of TV and does Gymnastics and swim lessons.

If she had to do it all again, she would just get 2 or 3 layers

Ffs it doesn't take long to chop up a few veggies and pop them in a pan. You don't have to cook restaurant standard food for kids.
