Feeding your kids veggies seems to mean you are forcing them to be vegan. Veganism is painted in such a poor light that it seems the majority of people equate veganism with being unhealthy and underweight. So therefore, child abuse. The fatty and her fatty husband who live next door have a 4 year old who is the same age as my daughter. They have battled with him to make him eat healthy because he was always allowed to eat junk food. Supposedly every time they decide to fight with him it ends with him refusing to eat, they are concerned about him being underweight, then they feed him dino nuggets. They consistently bribe him with toys and activities to make him eat his junk food meals. They recently discovered that he will eat Burger King so guess what he eats all of the time now? Meanwhile my kids are vegan, never complain about our foods unless they have too much spice in them. (Too bicey dad. Way too bicey." I never had to force them off of meat. They both HATED meat which prompted us to go vegetarian to start with. Vegan only came around when we discovered how addictive cheese was and how the dairy was causing health issues in my daughter and my wife. My kids have endless amounts of energy despite having very minimal processed foods and next to 0 grams of added refined sugar per day. So far my kids exceed every standard of measure for growth and health when they visit the pediatrician. We have had 3 pediatricians (we moved) and they all have said the same things about my kids. Next door kid is underweight. Fatty mom is trying to say he is autistic. He seems like a super normal kid when he is at our house, except he can be a dick because his parents let him. I say all of that so I can say this: we are viewed as the weird ones. Our kids go to the same school. The kids to the occasional project with food and it's always some sugar laden cereal or yogurt. My daughter flat out refuses to "eat that junk". We make food accommodations for her so that she doesn't miss out on the activities but the other parents and the teachers think we are all very strange for not eating meat and not allowing our kids to consume copious amounts of sugar. Underweight kid? Perfectly normal to eat dino nuggets for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I would not be surprised if we get investigated for child abuse because my kids refuse to eat "dead animals" and "milk made for babies". If it wasn't for my daughter being pretty damn smart and way ahead of everyone else in her class I think it would have happened already. If our kids looked like underweight kid we'd be fucked.
