A few months back we bought this cereal as a treat and I think to take on our camping trip. Fast forward to today. I bought the same cereal to be the fun parent for a change.
A few bites in my son stopped chewing and said, “I don’t know if I can eat this, it tastes like chemicals.”
We are a 90/10 house. I cook our meals completely from scratch 90% of the time and we eat out or grab convenience foods the other 10.
While I know that’s not everyone’s thing, I genuinely enjoy cooking and baking. I am most comfortable in the kitchen and spend many hours a day cooking.
What I didn’t expect was for my kids to be able to notice the difference. But their taste buds have genuinely changed over time. They can smell and taste the difference. They recognize real food and can taste the synthetic stuff too.
I guess I’m just sharing this to say, if you’re like me and trying to feed your family quality food, stick with it. It’s a lot of work but their little bodies need it.
Oh and be the fun mom sometimes 😉 that 10% won’t kill anyone and who knows, they may decide to make the choice themselves to cut it out!
