I find this a bit out of the park. When I was a child I ate what was put in front of me or I didn’t eat. If I ate at someone else’s house I ate what they ate or didn’t eat.

Most people eat what they can, not always what they always wish for. Would I like lobster all the time or porterhouse steaks, baked Alaska or escargot? I most likely would. But I didn’t come up in a family that had the money tree in the back yard that produced year round. We lived on a ranch and had good wholesome food many times fresh and grew up just fine.

I carried the same thought into my family. I married a ranch girl who could really cook and we had food we could afford and put money into other things also. And it sure didn’t hurt my family as my son is huge and strong as a bull, and my daughter is 6 feet and healthy as a horse.

So, what’s the purpose? Wholesomeness, or importance?

“When I was a child I ate what was put in front of me or I didn’t eat. If I ate at someone else’s house I ate what they ate or didn’t eat.”

But today it’s all about what the littl critters WANT to eat. Like how are they supposed to know? Do they ‘want’ to get out of bed, an education, a job?

Yeah, raise a kid to follow their wants and eventually they’ll OD on drugs. The stronger the drug, the more its ‘wanted’.
