And even if you are already older and fat, why not set your kids up for a a healthier lifestyle ?

Italians eat pasta nearly every day.

Asians have rice with their dinners most days. They are thin for the most part. Rice is similar to pasta.

True. But Asians also tend to eat lots of protein, beans, produce along with the rice. South Asians usually also have lentils/beans, produce and meat with their rice. So, a balanced diet has carbs, protein, veggies, fat etc.

One single meal served at a playdate depicts how a person's entire life is? It was one meal. Eat it and move on. The hysteria on this thread is insane.

So it’s not a completely normal meal? It’s a rare unhealthy indulgence?

It is a completely normal meal to me, also raised Italian, and does not mean whatsoever that the OP does not eat protein, vegetables, fruit, or a balanced diet.

The only conclusion I draw from your comment is you are oddly judgmental and I would not like you personally.

So, in your conclusion, you assumed that she has good food in her house but decided to serve her guests the garbage and save the good stuff which would surely be a balanced diet, for later? Must be an Italian thing to be so stingy and inhospitable.

We know OP has good food because she served it.

Then why are people bending over backwards to say they eat vegetable, fruit, protein, and actually do have a balanced diet? Because they know this is a shit meal. No “real” Italian would be proud of this slop.

None of those are "good" or "bad," you'd also be unbalanced if you ate only fruit, but it would be fine to do that for breakfast. People are saying this because posters are being ridiculous acting like if you had a croissant for breakfast that means you never eat protein.

Posters are bending over backwards to say what a great meal this is and they would be honored to be served it. Obviously that’s a lie.

It was only to feed some kids before they played, calm down. And that reminds me I get chicken, ziti and pasta from an Italian restaurant near us a few times a month. No sauce, no garlic, no oil. I add some shredded cheddar cheese to make it a little moist.

Growing up we had no foods with preservatives. We had, for example, whole chickens, broiled hamburger, or steak, fish, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, beans, pasta and my mother made me pasta with butter. No sauces, I’ve never tried mayonnaise or most other condiments. I never learned to cook beyond that so I still eat the same things. I guess people would be horrified to eat at my house.

What a bizarre post.

The point was, with all these posters horrified that they were served pasta with butter, that is a preference for many kids, it’s not some subpar food.

So many parents actually brag about their children dining in restaurants ordering octopus with a side of squid ink fettuccine and screwed spinach. The truth is more kids eat plain basic food and very few eat five different food items at lunch.

Also, that one meal does not an entire diet make.

I know! Such a nonissue. Who knows what they eat at school lunch and what’s given away or thrown away.

It actually is a subpar food. I’m not sure why that’s hard to accept. It’s food, and no one will starve, but it’s literally subpar.

It's actually a very beloved food, which many people count as among as their favorites.

So is ice cream. Or cookies. But they make a subpar main course.

You are so wrong that’s why it’s not possible to accept. And this is typical and what I was writing about before. Posters say a food is subpar and claiming or inferring that their child eats 3 meals a day food measured and weighed and meeting the daily requirements.

They make a good snack. My 96 year old grandmother who lives alone eats ice cream every day.

You sound controlling.
