[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, so it sounds like everyone KNOWS that kids shouldn't eat cereal, bagels, donuts, and all these sugary carbs, but noone wants to engage in that fight...so here's an idea.  Don't buy the SH-IT and bring it into your house.  It's garbage and you know it.[/quote]

Many cereals and bagels aren't sugary.  It sounds like you're upset that other people don't have your eating disorder and aren't working to create your type of eating disorder in their daughters.

Kids need carbs.  Teenagers, especially ones who are still growing or who are physically active, need a lot of carbs. In addition, when it comes to breakfast perfect is definitely the enemy of good.  A kid who eats a bagel with cream cheese or a bowl of cheerios in the morning is going to be less likely to raid the vending machine, be distracted by hunger in the classroom, drop out of sports because of lack of exercise, or develop an unhealthy relationship with food.

It's your kid.  Feed them whatever you want to feed them.  You are obviously nutritionally ignorant.

Yes, kids need carbs.  But they need these carbs to be minimally processed, plant based whole foods, complex carbs.

My kids are athletes and have a very long school day. They need their bodies healthy, their mind sharp, immune system strong, gut biome thriving, stable energy levels and they cannot afford to fall sick and miss school.   So, they get their protein, complex carbs, dairy, veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts, trace elements, healthy fats, prebiotics and probiotics etc.
