Healthy food for toddlers!?

Question

Hi I mostly only give my son healthy food. ie no crisps fast food or juice or fizzy drink of any kind! I was in Mac Donolds today, (my mum wanted to take my bro in there) and I took my son a sandwich and water and yougurt. I was fIrstly shocked by the amount of people that looked over at me, as If I was the most evil woman in the world, depriving my poor son of junk c**p. and how many babys where eating it, I felt sick. far enough I was eating it but im 23 and my son was happy eating his sandwich, So babys and junk food do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

I hate Junk food When I had my second daughter my husbands aunt had my 15mo old eating candy and chips It took me 4mo to break her of asking and screaming for junk every day. don't get me wrong I do give my kids occasionally a piece of unhealthy food but My philosophy is their tummy's are so small if they eat junk/unhealthy options they don't have any room for the healthy nutrient filled foods. Your son is still young he needs healthy food not junk thats why there are so many overweight kids beaces their parents don't take the time to make a healthy meal. Their are no excuses for your kids I have 2 girls 15mo apart and I and my husband work Full Time We have time to cook wholesome meals for our daughters. I know how it is to feel tired and exausted.

Answer 2

I totally agree!  Yay for not giving your child junk!  We try to eat healthy everyday and some people think I'm crazy b/c my kids are a little underweight.  I can't believe with all the research out there that people still try to "fatten" their kids and they think junk food is OK.  

Answer 3

HEALTHY FOODS DEF.!!! KIDS NEED GUIDANCE AN IF WE SHOW THEM HOW TO EAT HEALTHY AT AN EARLY AGE THEN THEY EAT THIS WAY WHEN OLDER AN REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART ATTACKS, AN ETC.

Answer 4

good.no juk food to kids.i try to minimise buiscuits too.they stop the kid from eating food,also fizzy drinks are a no,no.good occasionally u can give him some cookies and french fries,but not regularly

Answer 5

I don't think kids should eat junk c**p on a regular basis.  It will not hurt them to have some once and a while.  If you limit it completely it makes them want it more because everyone else can have it.  Most likely if you always feed them healthy they won't really like the taste of junk food and pick healthy choices on their own.  It's all about teaching them to make the right decisions on their own.

Answer 6

I applaud you for not giving your child junk that shows that you are a responsible parent. I disagree. Soon all a child is going to eat is JUNK. The children that start young on junk are going to be fat!

Good Job!!

Me:)♥

Answer 7

Well done on not giving in and giving him junk!

If your son isn't asking for crisps and mcdonalds, carry on taking sandwiches water and yoghurt places where he may get hungry and the only place you have is mcdonalds or junk food places.

ignore people who look dirty at you, they will just have fat kids.

and you dont usually see it so some people are gonna think its wierd.

Well done!
