Rein in your little pony there, Petey. You're off your rocker. You
haven't raised/had to feed children and I doubt you're a pediatric
nutritionist, in which case all you have is a slant and rant. Yawn.


>I didn't eat crap,


You don't know what you ate at that age, as your memory is not
dependable enough to recall it. This whole thread started about a kid
about to turn one (by another person who is childless, though more
polite than you).

A "diverse palette" has squat to do with a well balanced diet and
proper exercise. Snails smothered in garlic butter are hardly an
improvement over chicken tenders and fries, now are they? One need
look no further for extreme diversity than the chips and dips aisle at
the local 7/11. Diversity is not key, nutrition is, balance is,
regular exercise is.

Eating a well balanced diet does not require one to be a good cook,
either.
