Hi, great read. I 100% support your stance on how bad diets are for people generally, and horrible for kids. I can quibble about some minor points, i.e. racism take, but small beans compared to the overall point. Parents blame so much on their kids, without ever looking at how their unhealthy eating habits are killing their kids. Diets for kids usually mean processed food, microwaves and deprivation. three strikes right there. How about eating food that the family prepares together? Don't give me the no-time excuse, get your ass out of the Starbucks line for 30 minutes everyday. Meal prep on Sundays instead of sleeping until noon. Make a beet smoothie everyday. Buy Ramen soup packs and add a bunch of fresh veggies, kids love doing that. Deconstruct a salad, and let kids re-construct it. Make individual Boboli pizzas. Make a fresh taco bar, or baked potato bar, with all veggie toppings kids can choose. Kids are obese because of their parents laziness. Period. I write about a lot of this at riclexel.substack.com
