[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s laziness.  Same reason why many kids buy the crap lunch school sells.  Parents don’t feel like putting time and effort into their kids’ food.  Just like many adults eat takeout daily or pre-made foods [/quote]

OP here. What is the point of having kids if you don’t take good care of them? Food is one of the most important things for a kid - affects their physical health, mental health, immunity, mood. I can’t imagine throwing my hands up in the air and saying “Whatever, I am too busy. They can have crap every day.” The extreme picky eating/AFRID syndromes people are bringing up are rare and far between. Also interesting that people have enough time to flame on DCUM but not enough to plan healthy meals for their kids. Priorities, right?[/quote]The ARFID kids aren’t as rare as you may think.  Even our pediatrician and OT each have a problem eater.  ARFID is now labeled a comorbidity with ADHD.  Also, with SPD kids.  Plus, ASD kids have limited menus.   With a rise in these populations, so has there been with feeding problems.  The nutritions, OTs, nurses, and psychologists are saying let the child eat what they want.  Period.  [/quote]
