No, wait, I don't. Strike that, nevermind.
Sometimes, lemme tell you, visiting the children's museum is like an exhibition in "How to not feed children".
Lunch for your toddler (under two years) should not consist of a rice crispie treat and (for dessert) a bag of little chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and juice. (The dad had soda.) This is what they'd packed - it wasn't that they arrived and found there was nowhere to buy food but the vending machines.
This happens once or twice, nobody notices. But when I'm coming in week after week, and seeing the same people coming in week after week (some of them several times a week, like us), and their kids are eating junk all the time (and little kids!), I just... I don't know how people do that. Sheesh, I have a healthy appetite for junk food too, but not as a precedence over real food, and I don't inflict my diet on helpless children, either.
(On a similar note, when your kid isn't even old enough to be crawling, I do hope that brown stuff in the bottle isn't soda, because that's just gross. I'm trying to figure out what kind of juice is dark brown, but I'm not thinking of anything. Somebody, tell me it's medicine or some obscure brand of formula or something.)
