Oh, of course. I’m saying that it seemed odd to me to take a kid off of gluten when there was no intolerance. There is no reason for it. If someone in your house has celiac disease there is every reason to remove gluten from the house. We have a child with a severe peanut allergy and we don’t bring any peanut products…

I don’t know where you get that I was jumping down her throat. I don’t think I actually commented on the woman in question at all. I think she needs help, not jail, and I’m glad someone was able to get the baby out of a terrible situation.

I’m not cheerleading dairy. I personally drink very little milk but pediatricians recommend a certain amount of dairy intake for children so that they take in enough calcium. Yes, there are other sources of calcium including some leafy vegetables. But the easiest way is through milk, yogurt and cheese.

But this is a baby. Acne isn’t really a concern.

This mom needs psychiatric care and I really hope she gets it. My MIL also has terrible food issues - for a few years she was eating so many baby carrots that she turned orange - but thankfully she didn’t put them on to her kids.

This problem did not exist before the internet. It’s keeping up with the Joneses for the 21st century.

I have a friend who put her teenage son on a gluten free diet in order to solve his “behavioral problems.” This was one of the sweetest boys I have ever met - he was kind and polite and very patient with younger kids. It blew my mind that she thought he had behavioral problems and that she thought taking him off of…

For sure. Which is sad and terrible.

Well, you’re right, a 6-month-old shouldn’t have dairy but their pediatrician will make it really clear that they have to move the baby to cow milk or an acceptable alternative once the baby is weaned.

This is an extreme version of something I see among a lot of the women I know, where they force their food hang ups onto their kids. Usually it’s just like, being gluten free when there is no indication for it. Or putting kids on whole 30. I think this sort of orothexia by proxy is more widespread than people think.…

I’m agreeing with all of this except it’s NorCal.

Also, I’ve never heard anyone call it “the Bay.” That sounds like you live in the water. We always say Bay Area. Or East Bay or the peninsula or The City.

Tame Impala. Pretty glad I wasn’t at the sex assault show.

GODDAMMIT BOBBY FINGER

Yeah, no is getting hurt so...carry on, kids?

As you should be.

This is crazy. The level of excitement seems way too high.

Right? I can’t understand why this would be considered fun.

I’m laughing so hard at this. Hey brah, I’m tired, can you tuck me in? Bruh, did you pack some goldfish in my lunchbox, bruh? Fucking kids. They are awesome and terrible.

Yes!
