I can eat crappily, but it pisses me off when people feed their kids crappily. I know, mellow out. It's a definite pet peeve, though. The other day my friend called me about our shared hot water tank, and was like "blah blah, get Muwazu (her daughter) ready for school, get her LUNCHABLES, blah."
I was so pissed that she let her three year old eat lunchables. I'm thinking "You feed your three year old poison." When I was young, my mom never, ever, bought any kind of processed meat, and my constant snack was apples and carrots. Or crackers and tuna. Or peanuts. My big treat was graham crackers, and sometimes, oh sometimes, cookies. And she cooked some kind of balanced meals all the time, even though cooking is her least favorite thing in the world. Hey, if my mom can do it while getting a degree in a town that was an hour and a half away with no car and being dirt poor, it can't be that hard.

So, the cheese fries and the bloomin' onion from Outback today wasen't appropriate??
Just for the record: We do not eat hot dogs. I do not make Kool-aid.
Sara drinks fruit juice and water. I get Yoohoo for a treat. We usually have a pretty balanced dinner, except when we go to Chinese buffet.
There's pleanty of carrots and broccoli (which she loves) and cauliflower to munch on. We don't eat chips and dip, we eat chips and salsa. Sometimes it is easy to let them eat cold hot dogs and lunchables, but I like to make everything hard!
