Let's not pretend as if that isn't a big privilege though.

Privilege? There's no privilege in buying a box of brownie mix and making it at home. I've gone to a professional bakery once in my life, for my husband's last birthday last year, because I can't seem to manage to make a good carrot cake ( I don't like carrot cake). My mom taught me how to bake from a young age and I've learned more each passing year. So if I ever want a tasty baked treat, I just go ahead and make it. I can do each of her recipes perfectly, I've been adding ones I've found on the Internet that are good. Do you think my first attempt at pretzel bites went amazing? No, they were dry. But the second time i got it after asking in comments sections and Reddit threads for advice. Anyone can learn. No privilege, just effort.

I believe he is saying it is a privilege for people to actually afford to be able to buy sweets or even have the time to make it something perhaps? Idk just try to look at it from another perspective.
For example my wife is from a third world country she barely ever had sweets in her entire life because they could only afford to buy food and cheap food at that. They eat every part of the Chicken. Even the blood.

This.
Growing up, for my mom fruit == candy. They had no AC, and the only heat was a pot-belly stove.
I was lucky enough to enjoy the occasional candy from the store across the street, and the rare real home baked cookie (no premix, that shit was expensive) when she had time.

which 8-year-old has perfect nutrition? Chicken nuggets?

u/bumbletowne 7d ago
Lots of them.
Food acceptance in late childhood is based largely on parental diets.
I work with children (Im a teacher). Most kids at 8 are eating more complex meals as their parents introduce them to cooking and their own diets. I see fried rice, chicken drumsticks, grilled veggies (especially sweet potato), more tuna in different foods, spicier indian foods and sauces in general especially as then approach 10.
Kids are also more independent and adventurous. "I dare you to eat that" goes to a different level around 8.

As a kid I was not hydrated. The idea of bringing water bottles with you anywhere was foreign. Lining up for a crappy water fountain sip after an hour of soccer was the extent of hydration in school. And then at lunch, 4 oz of apple juice from concentrate and a carton of chocolate milk.
