My MIL's soup is basically leftover takeout in hot water. My parents a such chinese soup snobs though and that's what I grew up with.<br /> But I'll let the kids have it because we only see them when we visit. Just that when the kids don't want it, for whatever reason, I don't push it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-760081 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:23:32 +0000 Bao 760081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really...I make sure she eats healthy, and buy organic when I can but that's not going to be possible the rest of her life, so I am open to other options now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-760071 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:19:52 +0000 Sammyfab 760071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh...not really. I feel like it's ok to let him try most stuff once (except for the really sweet junk food), but I don't make a habit of giving him these foods. It is important to me that it's ME giving him these foods rather than his grandparents though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759969 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:34:51 +0000 Mrs.Someone 759969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO yet, but I'm sure I will be since I'm already a food snob! Not looking forward to explaining to my parents why McDonalds isn't OK... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759952 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:27:36 +0000 winniebee 759952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I try to feed him as healthy as possible and he eats mostly organic produce and meats. But I let him eat what we are eating and he's definitely had pizza and french fries. And Annie's Mac n Cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759935 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:23:08 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 759935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a snob about certain things. I don't give him chicken nuggets or anything fried. I do let him have sweets once in a while, but the nanny asked if she could give him some of her lucky charms cereal and I said no because I don't want it to become a habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759925 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:19:01 +0000 autumn865 759925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know certain family members see me as one. We make special trips to Whole Foods to buy her everything organic and I steam and purée everything myself. I like that there is nothing mysterious in what I give her and that its the freshest of the fresh foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759436 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:04:03 +0000 autumnlove 759436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not and I use roto chicken for jook. My parents are food snobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759276 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:11:36 +0000 bunnylove08 759276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I make my chicken soup the same way. I feel using fresh chicken on the bone makes the soup taste better. </p> <p>I dont think I'm a snob, I let DD eat what we eat. DH on the other hand scolded me for giving her a little bit of popeyes LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759188 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:45:30 +0000 Boheme 759188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've become such a big food snob while pregnant I know it'll be exponentially worse when baby gets here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759184 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:44:48 +0000 loveisstrange 759184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of? I definitely try and feed her healthy and not let her eat junk... but sometimes a girl just needs some french fries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759182 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:44:48 +0000 BananaPancakes 759182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was until recently. Now I try to do 80% organic and let the other 20% be whatever. He ate Chik Fil A nuggets yesterday for lunch. I'm sure he'll survive. </p> <p>@mediagirl: I make soup for him this way all the time, too, especially since soup is the only way to get veggies in him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759181 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:44:47 +0000 Weagle 759181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have food snob tendencies, but I've tried to relax quite a bit. If it doesn't harm her, it's okay. She'll get plenty of good food at home :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759175 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:43:51 +0000 anbanan15 759175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we have to be in our situation...actually I would be anyway. Even if hecould eat it, we would use nothing jarred/canned/prepared. It grosses me out to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759156 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:39:25 +0000 Mrsbells 759156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes big time food snob for my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759151 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:37:18 +0000 looch 759151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be...organic or local foods only, but I've found it difficult to keep up with that once his toddler pickiness set in.</p> <p>Chicken nuggets all the way now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759139 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:33:31 +0000 Dandelion 759139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not really. I have healthy choices at home, but when we have dinner that someone else is cooking, he just eats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759125 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:29:37 +0000 regberadaisy 759125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think Chinese/Asian culture makes soup very differently! When I make soup I take a fresh chicken add carrots &amp; celery and simmer on low for 1.5-2hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759119 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:26:54 +0000 mediagirl 759119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Hmmm. That's how I make soup.....</p> <p>I won't let her have anything sweet right now. I also don't like what daycare feeds the kids so I'll probably keep sending her breakfast for a while. Other than that, not really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759113 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:24:19 +0000 Andrea 759113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty. My parents buy dodgy looking food from the Chinese market and I tell them that LO can't eat it. But seriously, our Chinese market looks so dirty!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-food-snob-when-it-comes-to-lo#post-759107 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:20:36 +0000 regberadaisy 759107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally am!!! </p> <p>ie the one time when LO was sick MIL made "soup" and gave us some to take home. I tasted the soup first and she basically shredded rotisserie chicken, added carrots &amp; celery and boiled for 30 minutes. I would not give any to M; that's not "soup"!<br /> ETA: I hope no one is offended! Soup is just different in my culture.</p> <p>But I'm trying to be better about it. :P </p>
