Parents of Toddlers

Questions regaruding diet- hope this NEVER will happen.

16 years ago

Say there's this mother who has 6 kids all around 2 or 3, she isn't right in the head and feeds each kid poorly. Using the food pyramid she does experimentations.

Kid 1- only fruits

Kid 2- only veggies

kid 3- only foods from the breads,rice and grains group

kid 4- only dairy products like milk,cheese and yorgart

kid 5- only meat products

kid 6- only candy and sweets, like chocolate, surgar, lollypops,candy cookies.

What would happen to these children if nothing was done to stop the mother the parents involved? If they had to eat like this until they were 21 or otherwise adult. If they would die, which ones would die first?- i bet the candy kid wouldn't live long. What health issues would they face? Would/how would child protection get involved?.

If the children kept up this kind of eating how long would they live for as Adults?

I'm a preforming artist that might put on a play for mothers day called- A mothers doing- involving something like this.

I prey no mother would actually do this!

Thanks.

I think you may be surprised about the answer to which ones would die first.

I'm not sure why you are posting or what questions you are asking... but if you seriously need answers for your play, I'd talk to a nutritionist... maybe even a nutrition teacher at a college.

I think your play maybe cute but you may need a twist...like the candy kid being the only one that can survive, or the kids secretly sneaking the other ones food's group or something, and how they start mothering each other and sharing their food.. because of the lack of parenting from their sick mother or something.

Good idea,

Okay I'll look around more. I know candy rots teeth and you need teeth to live, maybe if kid was rescued before adult teeth could be damaged, would live.. no? yes? But then again you need calcuim to build teeth and so new teeth might never grow or might be soft and weak

Actually, I got off the Okla. Forum for a while, as it seemed it was more of a "social affair" between the same group of people just chatting back and forth, and not a whole lot of helpful info to posted questions and, quite frankly, I got sick of the subject of "tomatoes". I love tomatoes as much as anyone else, but, "holy nightshade", it is NOT a religion! There are a few who try to be genuinely helpful (including you), and I have really appreciated the help! Thanks for the warning about hornworms on Brugs. First I had heard that. You asked me to watch my Callirhoe for worms, and so far, the only thing that has chowed down on it is a busy deer, who got into it because it was growing near my daylilies and roses. For the first time, I have a deer problem. I am anxious for my butterfly and humming bird plants (Asclepias, Lantana, Lavender, Echinacea, Liatris, etc.) to start blooming prolifically, so I can watch them darting about the flower beds. Hope the 4O'Clocks DO bloom this Summer. They seem to be slow growers, or maybe they, too, have been waiting for warmer temps. Jeanie

That is what mine does also. There are a few canes on mine that are close to seven feet. I just love my HFH, I couldn't believe it when it started sending those canes up either. Then I thought some of the huge canes would have die back in the winter, but they did not have any dieback.

We can afford our house now since we redesigned and cut some good square footage now that we are with a different builder...its just frustrating having to pay all those fees all over again and they don't help us continue to pay down the actual cost of the house. The $400 is the only figure he has told us thus far. The cost of our house is going up $20K which is pennies for some based on the cost of living, but that isn't for us. Loan officer originally said we had to have a certain percentage of the cost of the house down for the interim construction loan and we have worked hard to cover that but also have continued to put extra money down "just in case." I guess I thought that would be enough wiggle room. We'll just have to hope it isn't too much more! Sometimes I have to remind myself that as frustrating as this whole process has been, he is healthy as am I, we have a (rental) roof over our head because we were able to sell our old house, and our happy in our careers. Can't ask for much more. This post was edited by aimless07 on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 9:36

Hi babygirl88 - When I first did SS(SomerSizing) years ago, I did not lost weight in the beginning. I really think that your body goes through a period of adjustment and then the weight loss kicks in. We used to call it "The Melt". SS is similar to South Beach in that it does limit carbs. My advice would be to follow the plan without straying for a few more weeks and stay off the scale. Use a favorite piece of clothing that is too tight now as an indicator and when it is starting to get loose, get on the scale. If you are not cheating and just keep eating within the SBD quidelines, you will start to lose in time. Be patient and hopefully you will experience "The Melt" before you know it. Once that happens, the weight usually comes off in slow but steady increments. Good luck! Marci

The children not eating breads would have a niacin deficiency. They added niacin to breads after a horrible plague broke out in the early 1900s. The disease causes diarrhea, dementia and dermatitis.

Runswalken . I am very curious now ! You are a true advocate of a healthy diet. I too, am very concerned about additives, etc. in pet and people food. Are you a vegetarian? I see your comments on the pet forum as well. I would be interested to hear exactly where you are coming from and what you have found to be the best food for your family and pets. We just have one adult cat right now and she is doing great with her Urinary Tract Purina formula cat food.

I eat meat- But try to get more veggies/plants, have a friend who is vegan, and I LOVE the vegan cookies at Mississippi market.- I useally search for wild foods in the summer time( day lillys,cattails,dandilion,berries,wild violets,)- drink naked juices too.

Purina isn't a good cat food, dry causes dental issues also- Felinefuture.com is a pro raw site thats good- otherwise try Innova EVO, Ziwi peak,Orijen or Instincts.

For the protection of peoples children I also highly urge you all to view- What's REALLY in your pets FOOD? on You tube.

The child eating only meat is likely to die from a vitamin K deficiency. It causes problems with blood clotting. The child will likely die from an internal hemorrhage.
