MY RESPONSE COMMENT BELOW THE ARTICLE: There is a high cost to cheap food and you pay it to your (or your children’s) doctor down the line. I’m all about sretching your food dollar, but wisely. Read the ingredient labels and figure out what the best use of your dollar is. Everytime you buy food you are “voting” for the principles behind that food and what brought it to your plate.

How is your child asking for fruity cheerios a precious mom moment?! There’s nothing precious about artificial coloring and high fructose corn syrup or sugar as the first or second ingredient in food you are serving to your child.
How about playing a game with your child of reading the ingredients on food labels. If they can pronounce every ingredient on the list then you buy it! That’s more my idea of a precious mom moment.
