To wonder how people feed babies this revolting stuff day in day out

[moogy1a]

Had to give a mindee a jar of food today ( mum particularly wanted her to have it).
it smelt rank and I couldn't bring myself to try it.
Little one wolfed it down though so obviously used to the taste and it wasn't "off".
AIBU to think that except in emergencies babies should be fed food you would be happy to eat yourself ( or is Heinz food particularly revolting?)

That's from your OP - nothing about it being a one off

Why do you not want to look at the links.
My point was the food is crap.
You all seem to disagree.
Someone asked for proof that it's crap.
I provide proof
You don't want to read it.
Mad.

A one off in my house

Moogy Im willing to get my first deletion to tell you to fuck off you are either deliberately missing the point or so thick you shouldnt be looking after kids

We don't disagree with the food being crap, we're saying that it's wrong, unfair and unprofessional to link this to a child and her parents.

You've also commented, in dismissive tones, about what the mother says she feeds her child at home.

Time to give up, I think, people. OP either a master at PA deliberately not getting the point (in which case I wouldn't want her looking after my child) or terminally slow on the uptake (see previous brackets) or entirely unable to grasp a different point of view/perspective (see previous brackets).

since when are news articles proof?? THAT is why i cannot be bothered to look at the link.

"Baby food from shops half as nutritious as homemade meals, study finds"
there you go. I'll just give you the headline to start you off

since when are news articles proof
When they're reporting scientific research

Fuck this

Tell you what OP - if you can provide me with a link to a peer reviewed reveiw (review not research article, as the whole point of publishing research articles is to present one or two points of salient scientific evidence rather than making a sweeping judgement like yours) in a recognised nutrition or scientific publication, i'll read it for you. News paper article where their science editors have been known to get things a bit wrong, i can't be arsed.

Lemis try reading the links, you're an intelligent sensible person and I suspect you'll get as much as a laugh out of them as me.

Op you've put too much information om mn in general and discussing what a mindees mum chooses to feed them on an internet forum when both you and the mum can be identified is wrong.

your OP and your later posts dont really match and it it quite pathetic funny how you are deliberatley missing the point. its not about the food at all

its still not crap really though, its mainly veg, its just not as good

If you want to know where to start in your search, you should try PubMed or Google scholar. Read a few abstracts and then come back and present your argument. Have fun

Why? Are people going to come round and throw jars of food at my house?!

op I have really read your first post.

You should have only asked if Heinz were disgusting?

you did say that I agree.

But, with all the other nuggets thrown in later, you have upset some parents here.

When you knock a choice you will always run the risk of hurting somebody quite badly.

You know, I think posters have been cross with you because you have crossed a line.

I believe you didn't start this in a mean spirited way...but you've been here a while right? you had to know it might sting?

You klnow what. I got arsey because I asked if Heinz was particularly revolting and got told things like I was fucking vile, shouldn't be looking after children etc.
So yes, I'm now very arsey

firstly am very disappointed to see the usual pack mentality bulllying at the OP, and no suprise at some of the names

secondly, we expect the following groups to feed people fresh food:

Hospitals
nurseries
old peoples homes
childrens homes
schools

AND YET there is a baffling blanket acceptance thats its prefectly OK to feed a small baby on a "chicken casserole" thats so packed with chemicals that it can sit on a shelf for 6 months

I dont think its "food snobbery", really suprised that people think that just because you are 7 months its suddenly OK to be fed processed food three times a day

and yes I know we all use them for emergencies/travel etc.

But whilst I am no detective seeng a trolley full to the brim, indicates that its likely these kids are fed them 3 times a day.

and I personally think its a shame

Are you REALLY too thick to understand that your mindee's mum might object to being identified and criticised on the country's most popular site for parents?

Really?

I think you need to gen up on data protection laws!

Oh and yeah, i read the links- happy now?? My opinion hasn't changed because they don't say anything i don't already know. Thing is "home cooked food" can range from nutritionally balanced, tasty food, in one case to another (which was often the case with my mother) inedible slop with very little variety and thought about getting all the right ingredients in. I would be interested to know what they mean by "home cooked food"

No op but do you not think that perhaps people who do know who you are could see this. That the mother herself could get comments about you. That people talk, one thing I think nearly everyone will agree with is that discretion is required in a cm and the point is you have not been showing much. Irrespective of the fact you cook home made meals I wouldn't want you as a child minder, I'd rather provide my own food and have someone with a better attitude.

"Why? Are people going to come round and throw jars of food at my house?!"

No - but they will be able to identify you, the children you look after and their parents.

Unless of course you are looking after pixie children that live with the fairies in under the bridge world.

from Paris

it isnt about the food!
her thread title is about 'day in day out' but her post is about a specific mother

she then says its a one offand twists her tale

then she harps on about concerb for nutrients and how everyone else must feed chicken nuggets as standard faire

its about arsey snobbery on the internet

Jesus Christ. Read my replies.
I am not slagging off the mum.
I have said she uses them as an emergency.
I am slagging off jarred food.

All a little defensive about your use of crap food.
