Guilty as charged here. Never thought of it as infantilizing anything, it's just faster to say/type.

I still eat fruities in moderation. Its more the whitie starchies I avoid, and of course the added sugaries.

(Yes, I realize that this post took enough finger movement for a month of veggies. Oh well.)
