Chicken Dippers for breakfast AIBU

If there good enough for dinner or tea then why not breakfast?

And the cost of the world feeds their children wholesome perfectly balanced food all the time no doubt ?
I

Unless their normal breakfast is something like homemade rye bread with avocado, poached egg and fermented vegetables, or overnight oats overnighting in kefir with nuts and seeds, and suddenly your DP gave them fried fast food for a change, I don’t see a problem.
Chicken dippers are as crap as cornflakes, easy to improve with a side of vegetables.

Nothing like a huge bowl of kolo mee for breakfast! Totally oblivious it was 'different' until I took an English friend there and she quietly pointed it out to me 🤣

It’s unreasonable because they shouldn’t bloody exist.

the food we feed our kids in the UK is inedible processed crap in the large part, and the reasons for so many health issues imo.

we’ve lost sight of real food, and the animals that provide it as sentient creatures. Processing meat into this kind of crap is a large part of the problem.

Strange breakfast but no worse than cornflakes. If you want something healthier how about:

Eggs
Overnight oats
Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts

He'd fed them chicken dippers, not cyanide. My daughter went through a phase where she'd only eat turkey nuggets for breakfast. She's still alive, happy and healthy.

You've already had an argument about it and now you want people to provide you more ammo to go back and argue more? Maybe just grow up?

And yeah, in a toss up of UPF between chicken dippers and cornflakes, chicken dippers probably are slightly better nutritionally, cornflakes might as well be a bowl of milky cardboard.

I can't imagine arguing with my dh over this tbh. He's fed the kids, which is one less thing to do!

People in South East Asia have fish and rice for breakfast. Nothing wrong with that.

in Canada, McDonalds has a chicken breakfast mcmuffin. I had one last time I was in canada and it was meh. But I would have destroyed a pack of nuggets if they were serving them, but not on the breakfast time menu.

There are no foods that are better or worse for breakfast or at any other time of the day. Go to pretty well anywhere in Asia and you will find that breakfast is what you or I might have for dinner.

However, there is a strong cultural effect. I love all kinds of foreign cuisine and when we went to Korea and Japan last year I thought I was going to enjoy eating different things for breakfast. But it turns out that I'm pretty conservative on that front: cereal/muesli, or some kind of bread/pastry, or German-style cold meats and cheese, or perhaps a full English if I'm in a hotel that serves it. When I was confronted with a buffet full of soups and noodles and vegetables and fish, I just couldn't get very excited about it. But I knew there was no right or wrong about it.

Why are people on app raising a generation of kids that are going to end up with eating disorders. There is no such thing as good and bad food it's all about balance and I really hope nobody is having these ridiculous conversations infront of their children.

Are they worse if you have them for breakfast than they would be if you had them for lunch?

I don't think it really matters what order meals are in.
Cereal for dinner, stew for breakfast 🤷 at the end of the days you've had all the variety no matter which way it went in

We regularly do chicken dippers or fish fingers for breakfast - protein for the kids that dont like cereal.
Feels better than Nutella and croissants? Which would be their choice.

And Birds Eye one do have sugar - dextrose

If you would be fine with them having chicken dippers for dinner or tea then they are fine for breakfast.

Neither cornflakes nor chicken dippers constitute a "good breakfast" imo. Both are ultraprocessed and, again imo, revolting!

A better breakfast would be eggs (scrambled, boiled, fried, poached or whatever) and some wholemeal toast - but NOT made with crappy UPF bread though.

Alternatively, cheese on toast, or sardines on toast, or perhaps a good quality granola with some Greek yogurt and fruit, or porridge (not instant).

Aren't chicken dippers ultra processed themselves ? Or is he making them himself ?

This. Although, personally, I wouldn't eat them any time of day but no worse than sausages which are part of a traditional breakfast.

Bit weird but better than nothing

Presumably,if you have chicken dippers in the house the children would be eating them at some point anyway. Why is having them for breakfast any different to them having chicken dippers for lunch or dinner?

They are chopped and reformed from chicken breasts so they aren't chicken fillets.

Guess it's no different to eating chicken sausages...not that i would eat either for breakfast.

My ex gave my son a can of full fat coke for breakfast. That is only acceptable for hangovers purposes.

I would prefer nuggets over cornflakes. Neither is healthy but at least nuggets keep hunger away longer.

Birds eye chicken dippers have 11g of protein per serving of 5 dippers, depending on the age of the children that could be around half or a third of their needs for the day.
Most children in the UK get far more protein than they actually need and too much can have a detrimental effect.

It's not traditional but I bet chicken dippers scrabled eggs and toast would be a tasty and filling breakfast.

Probably better than cornflakes.
