Good job with the kids. I did not have the wisdom available while raising my kids and we are suffering the impact of food nutrition recommendations now.
Yep, wife and I are the same.. raised on cheap crap (our families didn’t know better) and suffered some consequences from it (primarily cavities and such) and therefore have been determined to make sure ours don’t have to deal with that stuff
My 4 yr old has probably had less than the equivalent of a cup of sugar and maybe 2 of flour since birth- and it shows. It’s not easy— we spend more on groceries than we do on housing (and that isn’t cheap here) but it’s worth every penny
