Pathetic.
In Britain, isn’t “Junk Food” redundant?
Happens every day in America.
Does it really? I’d be interested to hear those stories.
So Junk Food is good for you now???
WAR IS PEACE!
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!
IGNORANCE IS BLISS!
(OK, so I changed that last one a little. And finally...)
JUNK FOOD IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!
TAKE YOUR SOMA AND LET US FEED YOUR KIDS!!!
Citation?
Could be child was severly underweight, malnourished, starving to death. Perhaps doctor suggested feeding junk food to get child to a decent weight.
Anywhere in America, if you starve your child, yes, it will be taken away.
Wonder why mom is so old, 48? Not saying it’s a bad thing, just unusual to have a toddler at my age. I’m a grandmother.
Excuse me, you don’t know how to use Google?
Well, sadly, ignorance is bliss. I wish I didn’t know all the things I know sometimes. Some really ignorant people walk around fat, dumb and happy. What you don’t know can’t hurt you. At times, they appear to be more content and blissful than I am, to be sure.
My son was 2 when he went through this typical period of not eating much. Dr. suggested that we give him a carnation instant breakfast drink each morning. Tastes good and had the extra calories and fat (milk) that he needed. case solved.

“The idiot parents are probably trying to poison their child with way too much fruit & vegetables, not realizing that approximately 80% of young children cannot handle fructose.”
Do you have a reference for that? (Celiac house, here. Always interested in food intolerances.)
Well, I want to say, “ask the grandparents how to coax a child to eat.”
Why young mothers go to a Dr. and ask for help that their mom or m-i-l could help with is beyond me.
But even grandmoms probably wouldn’t mind giving him chocolate milk and cookies, or in this case scones.
I guess that’s probably why....
Sad...
Mind your manners, n00b.
peanut butter +
powdered milk +
powdered sugar +
ground-up chewable vitamin =
fat, healthy kid.
(Unless they’re allergic to nuts or dairy...)
Speak for yourself, buddy.
Both my sons were picky eaters. In order to get them to eat, I’d serve them stuff they liked. They didn’t like fruit, doctor suggested fruit juices, milk and cheese for protein.
You have to be creative when you have picky eaters. My younger one wanted mostly pancakes, waffles, chicken nuggets and pizza. Now, he’ll eat most stuff we put in front of him, including salads.
No sense in trying to force them to eat stuff they don’t want, for the most part, the parent comes out the loser, besides, you’re making food too important an issue.
