Small rant, not a real comment about the LPT… I used to nanny a family that had their 5 & 8 year olds on a weird diet; it wasn’t prescribed or necessary, they chose to do so. Their kids never have or will experience trick or treat. At Christmas time the 5’s teacher gave the class tiny candy canes and dad freaked out. The kid freaked out because they didn’t get to do what their friends could and dad just couldn’t wrap his mind around that. The parents frantically ordered a pack of wacky ones online that were like $6 per candy - with full intention of giving each child a piece of one and then squirreling the rest away because the kids couldn’t actually have candy.

That’s so sad.

I mean, my sister and brother in law are total health nuts. They only buy organic, don’t keep junk food in the house, make sure the kids drink mostly water all day and eat home cooked meals but that doesn’t stop them from letting my niece and nephew eat a piece of candy their teacher might give them or the occasional McDonald’s.

You can raise your kids healthy without ostracizing them.

Dude, they didn’t even do it to be healthy, at least not conventional healthy. They didn’t have a microwave because of how the micro-waves affect your food. In my uneducated opinion, their diet was not good? Their primary food source was organic bacon or unseasoned baked hamburger, they were paleo. Anywhooooo, I hope the kiddos are able to expand their diet to something more “normal” soon.

As an adult who’s done multiple diets, paleo is something I simply won’t touch. There’s no way to get all your needed vitamins and minerals and also it’s just stupid lol

Poor kid, I hope the same
