[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]

Can’t imagine why an OP around here would be on the defensive about what they fed their kid, what with such lovely posters as you who are quick to give the benefit of the doubt...[/quote]
