Take off the pasta. You have flour and eggs. You could make your own. |
Would you feel differently is it were whole grain bread and noodles, unsweetened whole grain cereal, and natural, unprocessed cheese made with organic milk? |
It's the food Nazis... |
Hahahha. Someone beat me to the punch. Love it. |
OMG This is extreme to a fault. What's processed about pasta? Is this the same poster who gives her daughter the bento box with 5 selections including broccoli, apples and soy butter every day for school? |
Can't live without Rao's! My list: Rao's marinara Shrimp Garlic Chicken Pasta Salad greens Berries Milk Cheerios Those squeezy apple sauce pouches that dd is addicted to If wine can be included, I would swap out one of the proteins! |

chicken breasts
broccoli strawberries carrots grapes bread boar's head honey maple turkey milk lemonade cookies I know. Crap on my list. |
| Wow my list generated lots of conversation. Yes my noodles and bread would both be 100% whole wheat. The cereal would have whole grains and less than 6 grams of sugar..probably Cheerios. The peanut butter would be made solely of peanuts. I don't really consider much on my list too processed...sorry if I am not baking my own bread! I stand by my list! |
Pasta is made of flour. Flour is a processed food. Whole wheat would be much better, but I would still think about the percentage of processed food. It seems extreme because we have been so conditioned to eat processed food that we don't even recognize it anymore. This is turning into a major health crisis - over 42% of Americans will be obese in less than 20 years if we don't all start taking some nutritional positions that may currently be viewed as extreme. Yes, it is the bento box poster, but the lunch is not the same everyday. Today she had a hummus sandwich (I have absolutely no problem with her having bread, just not at every meal), fruit salad, a cheese stick (more salt than I would like, but she loves them so i get them occassionally), and cherry tomatoes. |

I don't have a bone to pick with how you or your daughter eats, it's just that nothing but nothing on that list including pasta is the reason for the obesity epidemic. It's the Twinkies and Hostess pies and snicker's bars, french fries and shakes that your daughter might very well turn to stuffing her face with when she's older and can make her own food choices. |
