But you haven't "been had" by the giant for-profit corporations who freely admit that they create food in laboratories specifically to be addictive? Mkay.

You're adorable. You're like my cat who chases a laser pointer. You're like a four-month-old who crams his foot in his mouth.

Hmm. Poor sad victim, maybe there *is* something to this food snobbery...

Oh, the drama of it all!!

Seriously. If food choices were so fraught, everyone who grew up in the 60s and 70s would be a useless idiot struggling to tie their own shoe laces. This is more about food anxieties and general hang-ups of adults than health of children.

I agree with you. Lunchables most definitely contain food, and the smugness is overwhelming and more nauseating than all the processed pasteurized cheese food product in the world.

However... Cicadas are food. Blood straight from the open vein of a cow is food. We all make choices. It IS curious to me that so many people choose this particular food.

Just because you can put something in your mouth, swallow it, and digest it does not make it food. I enjoyed your cicada comment.

It is not the chewing and swallowing that makes it food. You can do that with silly putty. It is the fact that your body can derive energy from it that makes it food. Seen that article about the young woman in the UK who has eaten nothing but chicken mcnuggets since the age of 5? She's in poor health. But she has not starved to death. Because she has eaten food. I am sure the same could be said for an exclusive diet of lunchables.

i cant believe you fools spent 11 pages on a topic so irrelevant!

Well, the people who are choosing this food are kids, mostly, who are known for their love of cheap thrills for the tastebuds (salt! sugar! fat!) and a fascination with the gizmo (separate compartments! add powder to water!).

When I was a kid, I loved TV dinners, especially these kid-specific ones. Even at the time, I knew they tasted bad, but there was something about that dried-out fried chicken and hot chocolate pudding in the box with the zebra on it that sucked me in.

And now I am all about the farmer's markets and the grass-fed beef. My kids (who sometimes get Lunchables) seem to be following the same path.

I am too poor for lunchables. It's not about being privileged. And the cheese does not taste like cheese. It does not mold like cheese. If I'm going to feed my kids cheap shit, it damn sure better be cheap and tasty. Lunchables are neither.

I am not privileged or smug. I am of limited means--perhaps even more reason for me to budget my money wisely and not give it to shady corporations who make their $$$ off the backs of the consumer. Your comment is in the vein of Rick Santorums "snob" comment about going to college.
