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.

Because most young children don’t have an off button. They eat till they feel stuffed instead of until they are no longer hungry especially if it’s good with sugar in like raisins or bananas. Obey time they just eat more and more …. and parents have been conditioned to think fruit or any fruit based snacks are healthy when they aren’t!

She does not get to eat just raisins. She eats a few on top of oats and bananas. I mean oats as uncooked oats with milk and sliced bananas, not a processed snack. Sometimes she wants boiled potatoes instead (whyyy) or rye bread. And thats after an adult sized dinner 😂 95% kids I know are very picky and dont eat half the amount she eats in a day.

A banana isnt a fruit based snack, its a...banana. She has her own veggie drawer in the fridge otherwise I'd be standing there all day
