But honestly the kids would be pleading starvation 2 hours in

Of course they would. You keep them hopped up on carbs. Three of your ten would really be wheat?

Oh relax, Food Nazi.

They are your kids. But you might want to take a second to look at how much processed food you are feeding them.

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?

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.

You are wrong: Modern wheat, which likely forms the base of the pasta, bread, and cereal, is a major factor in the obesity epidemic. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-hyman/wheat-gluten_b_1274872.html

Moreover, I am not claiming that my child will never eat poorly. All I can do is try to give her the base, and she will have to make her own conclusions. This is the same with just about every aspect of parenting, no?

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!

Please don't feel the need to explain yourself to the obnoxious/slightly insane PP. There was NOTHING wrong with your list. Even if the starches weren't whole wheat.

Mark Hyman borders on quack-dom.

The rise in obesity is not caused by wheat gluten, it's caused by too many calories in the form of sugary drinks, large and frequent portion sizes, and processed foods that contain too much sugar and fat.

Do you pour the diet coke over the Lucky Charms? My brother had to do that for a while when he lived in the Soviet Union in the early 80's. He liked it, but he was 12...

Salad (either spinach or a mix of greens)
black beans
brown rice
bell peppers
avocados
cheddar
olives
tomatoes
pasta
parmesan

The list of things I would already have would include wine, but if it didn't, I suppose that I could either live without the wine or swap out the wine with the parmesan.

I meant lunchables, not snackables.
Seriously people, make your pasta so it's less processed? Yeah, I could also knit my own blankets out of organic cotton-or should it be sustainable bamboo? How annoying....

Take off the pasta. You have flour and eggs. You could make your own.

Oh Christ. Really?
