A couple at my kids grade school were like this. Their boy was significantly smaller physically and slower mentally.
That means the poor kids have two strikes against them: 1) Stupidity genes from Mom, 2) IQs further degraded because stupid mom, starved them of carbs.
Why did she name her kid Apple knowing full well she named her after something that has those horrible carbohydrates? Huh, answer that one. Apples have about 30 carbs and a large meal sized salad would have about the same. Sorry, Gwenie but everything except water has carbs. Starting out, meat doesn’t have any but the first pinch of seasoning and you’re looking at a couple of them.
Agreed. These extreme diets are causing so many children to not develop properly. Children’s growing brains need carbs. Nothing wrong with limiting sugars and high calories but depriving children will only make them crave them more. They’ll have such horrible diets when they get out from under their wacky parents’ control.
