O.k., I’ve been postponing posting something about this because I’ve been in semi-denial that it is true. But it is time to come clean. My kids are officially food snobs. I don’t know how this happened. Braydon and I are soooo not food snobs. Yes, we like our gourmet foodie specialty items. For sure. But we’ll also jump right in line at a McDonald’s drive through with the best of ’em. In fact, over the years, we’ve actively and conscientiously and purposefully avoided food snobbery. Yes, we’ve plunked down our fair share of a large chunk of change at some of the finest dining establishments the world over. And yes, of course we have filled our cart many a time at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods and Wegman’s and the like. But my bonus card is loyal to the local Giant Supermarket and I’m not ashamed of having a bag of Cheetos in my cart from time to time. Kyle and Owen, however, are a different story. Despite our attempts to instill our food-values into our children, they are exhibiting rebellion in this arena early on. Food Snobs they are (with a capital “F” and a capital “S”), and they don’t like mucking it with the rest of us when it comes to their dinner plates. At the age of just-barely-three, I think you definitely qualify as a food snob if you…
A) Prefer Stonyfield Farms’ All Organic, Whole Milk, ‘Yo Baby’ Yogurt products… and…
… turn your nose up at Yoplait Kids yogurt, even when it is covered with images of Diego?!!!!!
…refuse to eat the classic Velveeta Shells & Cheese, telling your Mama that it is “stinky” (quote unquote).
