Comment on Happy Birthday to My Happy Meal by jackie Herrera

I did this experiment on accident, my daughter left a icecream cone (From D.Q.) in her closet, she ate a few bites and left it in there for over two weeks, when I was hanging up some clothes in her room I looked to left when I noticed a perfect looking unmelted icecream cone. I should of took a photo of it, I was shocked when I knew how long it had been there. It got a bit smaller in shape, but there was no smell, or messy clean up, it just stayed in the cone – unmelted . I never forgot that and I always wondered why it didn’t melt.

Although my kids have never had a Happy Meal, they still ask about them and why they are so bad for you.
I showed them this photo at breakfast. We all got this on such a deeper level with this visual.
Thanks Nona!

Peace & Be Well,
Tara

I inadvertently ran a similar experiment with a Lunchable. My kindergartener begged me for Lunchables like her friends, so I bought one and dumped the contents so I could use the container to pack a “custom” Lunchable. I kept the bread rounds from the original lunch for measuring purposes. I didn’t intend to hold on to them for long, but there they sat on the top of my microwave for months. I was in awe of how they continued to look the same week after week. Where was the mold? Eventually I think my husband got bored with my experiment and dumped them because they disappeared, but I tell that story to anybody who will listen. If food doesn’t break down naturally on the shelf, how in the world does anybody think it’s going to decompose in their child’s stomach?

Comment on What to Eat When You Eat Out by Julie-ann

Chipotle is a good choice BUT I taught a lesson to the 5th graders last year about ordering out and it was at that time I learned Chipotle is OFF the chart with sodium levels. You can not create a meal from them without going over the DAILY limit. Yep. So if you have issues with high BP I would recommend to steer far away from Chipotle.

*****
Good point, Julie-ann! I did NOT take into account the sodium levels in any of my recommendations. At some point, you have to decide what to eat when you’re out and I feel trans fat is much worse than sodium. Trans fat has a half-life of 51 days, that means it takes 51 days to leave your system. Sodium will be an issue with most food chains. Hopefully, we eat at home most times and eat out seldom…Nonna Joann
