I'm friends with two lovely mums, they're both very health conscious vegetarians. We share a lot of similar views but they are both horrified that I let my dd drink squash. They've brought it up nearly every time we've met up, blaming any of my dd's various issues, from nappy rash to lack of appetite on the demon Robinsons.
My responses range from apologetic (I've tried her on water but she cries and won't drink it) to the defensive ('at least I know she's properly hydrated.') What I really want to say is that I don't care enough to wean her off it, that I cook from scratch, don't let her eat much sugar and buy free range meat and I'm just done with reading packets and labels and scrutinising everything and if it gives her a bit of happiness and doesn't make her fat then what's the harm? Increased risk of strokes, tumours and migraines apparently.
