    Okay, good luck trying to convince a child of that, or someone who’s in the junk food loop.

    Just eating raw carrots also sounds like a miserable experience, you need to make healthy meals.

      Getting a child to brush their teeth (or do it for them) is also a constant effort. So what? Just let them rot? Raising children well is not easy, we know that.

        So we agree, it’s not easy…

        I don’t know if you’ve somehow read my original comment as pro junk food, but it’s not.

        So are we not allowed to change policies to make it easier?

        This is a weird argument. My kids eat carrots. I cut up the baby ones. They also eat chicken nuggets, hot dogs, corn dogs, grapes, apples, butter pasta, and a variety of foods. Simply saying eat a raw vegetable doesn’t really fix the issue.

          It is a super easy and first step to a more healthy diet. Not more and not less.

          The part about “oh no it is so hard with children” was brought up by someone else.
