Ah, junk food. One of the advantages of Faith being on a GFCF diet is that no one is allowed to give her junk food, because she is simply not allowed to eat them on her restricted diet.

Super Size Me is scary, isn’t it? Did you see the bonus feature on the Fries That Won’t Die? What kind of food is it that it does not break down?

Children need to be kept from salt and sugar for as long as possible. Kids only develop a taste for junk food when they start taking it. Sometimes, people think, it is only slightly sweet, no problem, without realising that it is extremely sweet to a child that has been having bland food all this while.

I totally agree with you. I am planning to delay the introduction of softdrinks and fastfood (and all junks) for as long as i can. I hate it when those aunties used the “last time they did this and we are all okay” argument! Urgh.. I just introduced my six-month old solids and I am trying to make homemade baby food as much as I can… ah, the joy of motherhood.

*faint* I’m sure glad I wasn’t there! Good thing, Yauyau had an excuse. Anyway, if I’m there, I would put my foot down on the junk food, I have argued with my MIL on that before, so I think I can take on anyone! *bare teeth*

I totally agree with you on that, delay offering junk food and not giving food that is loaded with salt and sugar. Also, babies’ kidneys are immature, they may not handle the load of the salt. My MIL thinks that if a person perspires, having a little salt is good for the body but I don’t agree with her. I used to have arguments with her because she likes to offer table foods to Ryan. Like I always say to her, I don’t care how she perceives food, but I want to do all I can to give Ryan a healthy start. So now she asked that Ryan not be seen around the dining table especially when she is eating.
