I totally am!!!
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 & celery and boiled for 30 minutes. I would not give any to M; that's not "soup"!
ETA: I hope no one is offended! Soup is just different in my culture.
But I'm trying to be better about it.

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!!!

@regberadaisy: Hmmm. That's how I make soup.....
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.

@mediagirl: I think Chinese/Asian culture makes soup very differently! When I make soup I take a fresh chicken add carrots & celery and simmer on low for 1.5-2hours!

No, not really. I have healthy choices at home, but when we have dinner that someone else is cooking, he just eats it.

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.
Chicken nuggets all the way now.

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.

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

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.
@mediagirl: I make soup for him this way all the time, too, especially since soup is the only way to get veggies in him.

Sort of? I definitely try and feed her healthy and not let her eat junk... but sometimes a girl just needs some french fries.

I've become such a big food snob while pregnant I know it'll be exponentially worse when baby gets here!

@regberadaisy: I make my chicken soup the same way. I feel using fresh chicken on the bone makes the soup taste better.
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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

Same here with the soup. 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.
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.
