Hot Chips
Why is it when you go out to events, you can never find kid friendly food. All food that is available is unhealthy and deep fried, or it is covered in chocolate and not a good choice to eat for lunch.
I don’t understand why there is no option to have a Vegemite sandwich, this my girls would have eaten gladly, why is there no cheese sandwiches, milk drinks, juices and the like. I could go on. My kids are fussy enough but to then be surrounded by things that I really don’t want them to eat for lunch is just terrible.
If you have an event you should be made to supply proper food for that target audience. If it is a kid’s event, kid’s food and healthy choices should be mandatory. If you are surrounded by junk and stuck at an event, you end up buying junk. Then how do you tell your child not to eat it when you happily purchased it for them.
I know this is a rave, but with all the press about obesity why do we get confronted still with such unhealthy choices. Maybe it is a conspiracy from suppliers to get the new target audience hooked on their product, not sure but you never know.
Do you have issues with food at kid’s events? What do you do to make sure your kids eat well? We try to bring a picnic or a packed lunch mostly; however there are times when we think that as it is a kid’s event there will be ample choice available. This has backfired on us big time. I will make sure to pack a lunch at all times for the kids in future.
