Why do you buy processed foods for your kids?

[Anonymous]

I love frozen waffles. Wait till your kids are older. We did all homemade when little.

I mean if it has a lot of ingredients you can't pronounce then it's probably not that good for you. If it has a lot of sugar or sodium it's probably not that good for you. Foods that have these things tend to be more processed than produce. Not that complicated.

Still think it’s a good question if OP lives on a farm though and grows/raises all their own food. Bread, yogurt, cheese, milk, pasta, it’s all “processed.” If OP just means junk food or things w lots of ingredients you can’t pronounce then she should say that instead of saying processed food.

I’m the pp you’re responding to. Thanks for taking the time to explain but I was just being facetious.

It sounds like I correctly identified you as a moron.

Those things are more processed than other foods.

It’s easier to eat processed food in the car.

This is such a lame cop out. If it has a lot of ingredients you can’t pronounce, it just means you’re scientifically illiterate. Nothing more.

Just mind your own business, loser.

You sound like a sad person.

You're right, it doesn't mean much by itself, but it is a marker of being very processed, which is often associated with a lot of added sugar and/or sodium.

I'm guessing OP is a smug first time (and sahm) mom to one, just 1 kid, a cutsy-poo 12 mo old.

Hope your baby enjoys nitrates. Yum yum. Eat up, baby.

Lol, yep. Just wait till they go to school and get their first taste of strawberry yogurt and animal crackers. Careful not to make them forbidden food or you'll have the kid binging on snacks at their friends houses.

Understand that if you’re making homemade waffles you are “processing” the food and giving your kids processed food. Homemade bread is processed and do is homemade granola.

Why aren’t you giving your children more Whole Foods?

Oh no! Your food might have the dreaded dihydrogen monoxide!

Seriously are you just trolling?

Like I make my own pizza sometimes. If I were to order a pizza from the store, it takes 5 minutes. If I make my own pizza there's a solid 2 hours of work in there and I have to start the night before. And no I don't make my own mozzarella or something ridiculous like that. I'm not obtuse enough to ever criticize people for NOT making their own pizza because stuff takes time.

Their kid's gonna be that girl in the dorm who eats nothing but Fruit Loops for like a month because their parents were crazy about their food.
