I can't think an equivalent in other cultures that people have to bring everywhere as an emotional support food. It's not like the French are bringing their own camembert on a plane.


Your SIL sounds like a mom who is feeding her kids. Do you have kids?


I do. One of them is picky. But I can't imagine feeding them the same thing day after day. I try to diversify and prepare something home cooked whenever possible, even if very simple.

Yes I could live without it, sure. It's just very convenient.


+1. You can put a PB&J in a lunch bag without an ice pack and know it’s safe the whole day.

I can live without it until I have a craving for a PB&J or Fluffernutter.

It’s yummy

I ate it every day for lunch for 8 years

Put it in smoothies and dip apples in it.

Yum

Yes, hate the stuff. I had a picky eater who only ate a few things. I would not send my child anywhere that could put another at risk due to their food.
