Did some ND children starve before chicken nuggets were invented?

I'm not being horrible, genuinely curious.

You read on here how a child who has autism or some other issue, will only eat safe foods. Usually a lot of things like chicken nuggets, a particular brand of cheese and onion crisps, Nutella, supermarket pizzas (UPF mostly)

Do we think children in the 1920s just went hungry? Or perhaps they were forced to eat foods they didn't like. After all you do hear stories,of adults even now being made to sit at the table and choke down food etc.

@AmusedAmeliai remember the same in the 80s with stew. I never liked meat but stew was the worst, chewy and horrible. The cat liked stew day 😂

No it isnt. Even the bread would depend what sort of bread it is.

UPF obsessions have taken logic out of peoples brains.

It's because they don't understand what UPF actually is, they think if it's in a pack it's UPF!

Exactly. All food, except from raw fruit, veg & nuts is processed. Cooking is a process, pasteurisation (of milk) is a process, milling grain into flour is a process. Baking is a process.

UPS are Ultra processed. Mostly food that contain ingredients not normally found in a domestic kitchen that have gone through several/extensive processes.
