    Just cut up fruits and vegetables. They love those. No need to get special toddler snacks. Raisins are healthier than fruit snacks. The ultra processed foods are mostly sold for their convenience, and should be used sparingly.

        They may be processed, but they aren’t ultra processed.

      Exactly.

      Shop the outer ring of a grocery store, not the shelves.

      (I say this as I chow down a bag of potato chips)

    Toddlers don’t need special foods; they can and should eat the same things we do

    I have a hard time being outraged on this one…… it’s a list of foods we avoided for our kids when they were toddlers. It was never hard to see that they should be avoided

    And here I am trying to find a chemist that has infant rice. My daughter will be so healthy and so safe from every virus that she will never get the immunity to the virus… I hate my wife a little bit because she won’t let our daughter take on the smallest generic viruses to build immunity.

    Pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, peanut butter.

    I can’t think of the fifth food, but I guess it’s the healthy one.
