Treating kids like your instagram pet or your camper van project deserves more ridicule than not living up to a random karen influencer's unrealistic standards based on her own specific worldview that likely isn't backed by scientific literature.
It's like nobody learned anything from Ian Malcolm.
Your little apex predator doesn't want to be kept in a paddock and fed it grass-fed kosher meat at timed intervals. It wants to roam free and f #### up. Maybe it comes back with a bum leg once in a while but that's part of life.
People trying to control all variables of nature are idiots. Kids have impeccable plumbing and growing bodies. If they can't indulge in unhealthy things when their bodies can handle it, they'll never be able to cause as we know you cant do it later. And a life where we actively avoid all fun things from age 0 isn't any kind of life.
Maybe what we need to work on more is not being so terrified of disapproval.
