[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you people really think puffs are nutritious?  Because they are actually just convenience food that's not particularly good for anyone. Just a gimmick for parents who want to feed easy snacks on the go.

Seriously, they're about as processed as you can get:  puffs are produced through a process called extrusion, which involves mixing grains with water and–through high temperatures and pressure–forcing them through a tiny hole to give them their desired shape.  The "vegetable" is powder, which have virutally no nutrients.

Meh. Nobody cares about puffs. They are neutral; just a fun little snack to help your kid learn to eat without choking. The point isn’t that they are nutritious, but that someone shouldn’t brag about avoiding them because they are purportedly junk food. That is a red flag for someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food. [/quote]

Your kid can learn to eat without eating highly processed crap, which is what they are.  Cut up some actual food, don't be so lazy.[/quote]

Oh please.  You seriously think someone is lazy because they don’t villainize puffs?  That’s insane. When your kids are teens (I assume you still have little kids or you would know better) they will be going out with friends and eating Doritos and donuts and probably vaping. You will realize how silly it was to brag about not feeding a toddler a few puffs here and there.

I have 3 kids, only one of whom is a toddler. Sad for you if you think it’s normal for your teen to be vaping. As for Doritos, maybe. At least they would have had 12 years of great nutrition at a time their bodies are growing the most. It’s no secret that we’re all getting sicker as a society. Even kids. You’d have to be a total idiot to not think that’s connected in any way to the way people eat these days.[/quote]

So your kids are all still young. You are patting yourself on the back because you avoided puffs when they were babies. That’s adorable. But you will realize some day how stupid that was. Until then, go ahead and feel superior while the rest of us mock you.  (I said nothing about my teen vaping.  But if you don’t know how prevalent teen vaping is you are even more clueless than you originally sounded.)[/quote]
