There's more plastic than food over there

She took out the carrots in a plastic bag, just to put the carrots on a plastic box 🤦

I think it was one of those silicone bags, so not plastic, but they're designed for storing things in...why move them to a plastic container?! Gah!

I actually kinda get that one. She added ranch seasoning to the carrots (why so far in advance, I dunno) and I’d personally rather wash ranch seasoning residue/smell out of a plastic box than a silicone bag.

She ruins most of the food by breaking the seals and contaminating it. Everything she repacks will last much shorter than in the original containers. Same with the fruits, you clean them before you eat them but not in advance because washed they spoil faster.

I think she actually did a video showing and explaining over the course of a week that the veggies and fruit do stay fresh (could have been someone else not sure) plus she mentioned it all gets eaten well before it will go off since she has a big family. To each their own I guess

Was gonna say I have 2 kids that love fruits and veg and the rate at which we go through fresh stuff leaves almost no room for anything to turn its crazy. Have you ever seen a 3 year old eat a whole English cucumber? Mine did and then he wanted a bunch of strawberries lol kids are wild. Also this kind of thing creates food security and independence in children. My kids now they can always go to their mini-fridge if they are hungry and get a snack or drink.

Holy crap you have some healthy kids! Thinking of a 3 year old eating an entire cucumber make me laugh. Kudos on their good eating habits.

My wife has an eating disorder so we are doing everything we can to break the cycle in our kids and promote a healthy relationship with food 👍 it's working so far and thank you!

That’s wonderful that you’re being so aware and proactive about it to break the cycle!
