Sometimes the hard part of parenting isn’t dealing with kids, but facing the opinions of other adults and parents. At its worst, it can feel like there are people just waiting to judge coming from all sides, whether they have a good reason to do so or not. 

While pretty much any part of being a parent can fall victim to unsolicited opinions, one of the more common topics that is focused on is children’s diets. Things like not cooking often enough or dealing with picky eaters can be enough to make outsiders feel like they have a say in what a parent should be feeding their child. 

It is true that what kids eat can affect how they develop, but every mom and dad out there has slightly different ideas of what is acceptable when it comes to feeding children. It is no surprise that it makes for some heated internet debate.
