I was checking rates at a local motel that just reopened for when people
come to visit. The woman in the office had a baby, about a year old, maybe
a few months older, in one of those hanging bouncy-things. She told me the
baby is just getting ready to walk. Then she commented she'd just fed the
baby. I noticed one of those separated compartment "baby plates" sitting on
a table. And she said brightly, as much for the baby's benefit as for mine,
"We had french fries!" I also saw what appeared to be remnants of chicken
nuggets on the plate.

Good lord, the baby isn't even walking yet and she's being fed fries and
chicken nuggets. If she can eat solid food, isn't now the time to introduce
her to vegetables other than the fried variety? and chicken other than the
nugget kind? Sheesh!

And no, her mom wasn't overweight. It appeared they lived on site in one of
the units so I doubt paying rent was an issue. Of course there are other
types of financial issues, but still. I think fresh or even frozen veggies
and careful shopping for real meat would soooo benefit that baby in the
early stages of life! IMHO.

She may be, but OTOH, I've seen plenty of parents use chicken nuggets and
fries to keep the kids quiet and fed. They don't consider it a treat, but a
regular diet.

French fries are easy to eat for babies that don't have teeth yet. They're
not stringy or crunchy or gaggy for babies. They're perfect finger food,
easy for little hands to pick up and put in their mouth. I'll bet she also
feeds the kid Cheerios.

Of course anybody that's ever actually fed a kid would know that.

Just last night, I went out to dinner with a group of close friends; all
in the same family. It was a birthday dinner (not mine). An 8 year old
boy was with us. I have known this kid since he was three days old. This
child eats only four things: grilled cheese, french fries, cake, and
chocolate. I am not kidding. No soup of any kind, no pasta, no
hamburgers, no cheese. I think he can be coaxed to eat vanilla ice cream
though. I have dined out with this boy and his parents many times and
eaten over their house. We had a birthday cake back at the boy's
parents' house last night after dinner and this child didn't have a
single morsel of it.

His mom could stand to lose of few pounds. His dad is huge, but he has
started to lose weight through exercise and changes in his diet. This
kid is at a healthy weight and his energy seems boundless. He gets his
fussiness from his grandma on his mother's side, who was with us last
night. His folks don't make a fuss and if the boy can't find grilled
cheese and french fries on the menu when we dine out, he will quietly
sit and watch the rest of us eat, but he will have nothing. Even when he
does eat, its just a few bites and that's it. This kid truly has no
interest in food, but has lots of other interests, such as jumping
around and burning calories on his trampoline with his brother. His
older brother is the opposite; he will try almost anything, but he's
also not a big eater; he'll have a few bites of something, then he's
done.

Jill, why bother checking out hotel rates in person? Online works much
better ... http://www.expedia.com for finding good deals on hotels, and
http://www.tripadvisor.com is good too.

heh. My kid wouldn't touch fries and most other junk food until she
was
5 or 6. At one, they'll eat anything they can get their hands around
and
into their mouths.

It may have been a treat, or somthing that the mother could give the
kid
that wouldn't get all over the place while they were in the front.

I admit I'd cringe too, but it's her pediatrician's job to advise
diet, not yours
or mine.

Perfect? Should a 1 or 2 year old consume all that salt? Oil they were
fried in?

Agree in the Cheerios.

This place just reopened and it's not part of a chain. They aren't online.
I usually use the ones above and some of the other services when checking
for out of town or known hotel rates

Obviously I didn't say anything to the woman. But as has often been
discussed here I'm pretty sure this is a regular diet for this baby.

What burns me it to see a FAT woman feeding her kids to make them fat
so she doesn't look out of place.

"Oh gee....we have a genetic glandular problem".........make me
believe that one fatso....the gland is saliva.

And seeing a fat woman with a shopping cart full of JUNK and then she
has the nerve to pay with food stamps.

Sounds like my grandson (who just turned 6). He sees the Dr.
regularly and the doctor knows how picky he is. He is healthy, happy
and has almost too much energy to burn. His eating has improved -
especially last year. It used to be only white foods: chicken
*nuggets*, tater tots/ff, rice, naked pasta with a little butter. He
still likes chicken nuggets, but he eats more varied meats now,
broccoli is his main vegetable (with soy as a dipper) and he will eat
a raw carrot on occasion, plain rice, pasta with cheese on it, but he
doesn't seem to like potatoes in any form now. Yet, take him out for
sushi and he'll choose things you'd never expect such a picky eater to
go for. Oh, yes... pizza. He loves that too. He can put away almost
an entire small pepperoni pizza at our favorite pizza joint. One good
thing is he absolutely loves fruit... grapes, strawberries and oranges
are his favorites.

Why do you go to open houses on your own block? Are you planning to
move down a door or two? Not that it hasn't been done. One of my
neighbors moved across the street from her old house.

What salt? Where I come from they come unsalted. Babies need a
considerable amount of fat in their diet for proper brain development.

What a mean spirited article. Yes, the child is chunky, but she's EIGHT

It's possible she made them herself, in the oven. My daughter used to get
Cheerios. She did get fries on occasion, but not very often. Most
restaurants will substitute applesauce or some kind of fruit.

Yes and no. I hear what you're saying about the voice of experience

Both my kids ate fries when they were still pretty small. We almost never
ate out when they were that age so all the fries they got were oven baked
Ore-Ida. On the rare occasion we did eat out they got unsalted fries. They
also ate a wide range of other foods.

Youngest sons very most favorite thing was canned carrots, straight from the
can. He could eat a whole can all by himself.

Possible, but since it was at a motel office, I'd bet they came from the
fast food place down the street.

There used to be written rules about what one could give babies to eat
up to one year. I think it was Dr. Spock, who was at the time the
know-it-all of bringing up baby mentally and physically sound.

Now I see people out at different eating areas giving babies french
fries that when they gum it, the fat goes streaming down their chin.
Pity!

Sometime ago I was in a Costco where a guy was giving a baby a piece
of hot-dog and he looked over at me sheepishly, but then kept on
giving the baby more. When I say, baby, it was not even sitting up.
Then he went over and got some water out of the machines and filled up
the baby's water bottle for a thirst quencher. Yee gods!

I think they were from a package of those microwaveable fries since they
were crinkle cut. She probably couldn't leave the front desk long enough to
make a fast-food run. And (again I'm guessing) if she lives on the premises
she'd have one of the units with a fridge and microwave. She wasn't East
Indian but I know a LOT of them who own motels also live there with their
families.

If she lives on the premises... If. If. If, if, if. You think they were
from a package of microwavable food. She probably couldn't leave the
desk. She likely has one of the units with a fridge and a microwave. Of
course you said nothing but you're pretty sure this is the baby's
regular diet, based on what's written in the newsgroup. *She* isn't East
Indian but you know that lots of East Indians who own motels also live
there with their families. From your original post: if the baby can eat
solid food shouldn't it be introduced to chicken other than the nugget
kind, and vegetables other than the fried kind, that rent probably isn't
a problem, and that you think careful shopping for meat and vegetables
would soooooooo benefit the baby. As someone else observed, you're
assuming a great deal. And you know what they say happens when you
assume, only in reality you make an ass of only you. All of these things
you are sure that you know or think you know because that's how you read
the evidence... what if you're mistaken? What if you're wrong? Will you
claim no harm-no foul and go on your merry way, or might it give you
pause for a moment and open your eyes to your prejudices and knee jerk
conclusions and maybe even to the times you didn't offer any real help?
The subject line of this thread, your creation, says it all: another sad
commentary on why kids are fat - *sad commentary*, the lead in to a
series of subjective interpretations and generalizations presented as
evidence of the activities of people other than yourself.

Absolutely! They have a much greater need for a high number of
calories. Thanks for adding that.

I still don't understand tatoos on anybody. My dad had them on his
arms and I hated seeing them. Ugh.

Unfortunately while that is indeed true, the crap-food eating habits
developed as a child when they can get away with that diet will continue
past the growing years and turn them into lard-asses.
