[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re both feeding your kids fine.  You, however, are a judgemental jerk.[/quote]

You have no idea what they gave their son for breakfast or when he ate breakfast, or what he eats the rest of the time.

Apple slices and popcorn are not junk food. Pizza, while it may not be the nutritionally optimal choice, is perfectly acceptable, especially as a treat eating lunch out with friends. If you’re so offended by the pizza, why are you upset that he didn’t finish his crust, but had some apples later?

As a Pp mentioned, your offerings were not nutritionally optimal either. Your bacon probably had as much or more grease as the pizza. Every nutritionist I’ve ever heard has stressed that fruit is far better than juice.  Perhaps being a virtuous paragon, you served your child sour, plain yogurt, but if it was fruit-flavored, it provided a significant dose of sugar.  Was the bread whole grain?  Was there mayonnaise?

Nobody is perfect, but I think both kids in this scenario gave parents who, based on the limited evidence presented are doing an excellent job caring for their children. Even if they weren’t, it’s none of your business.  Just keep doing your best for your child and let other parents do the same for theirs. Sometimes you might make “better” parenting choices, but seeing as nobody’s perfect, there will also be times when your choices might be “worse” than other parents, which is fine. If a child was raised to expect perfection, they would inevitably be disappointed, and how would they cope with the real world?[/quote]
