I honestly don't know a lot about this. The meat I buy isn't usually prepackaged. And the guy just writes the name and weight and date on it with a marker after he wraps it the plastic over it. Am I naively fooling myself into believing that the family owned butcher shop I like to frequent is healthier? I honestly don't know.
I get what you mean though. Unhealthy is always cheaper and more convenient and more available. It's also more popular and I struggle with that because I don't want my kids to be those weird kids who've never had pizza roles or koolaid. But I also don't want to give my kids pizza rolls or koolaid. The koolaid thing is something I will not bend on. I sometimes let my kids have unhealthy junk to eat though I try to avoid it as much as possible. But they have never had koolaid. The only pop they've had was Sprite (and that's just the older two as Miss P wasn't born yet) and I glared at my mother the entire time they were drinking it. My kids drink a lot of water and I have a juicer and a blender so they get watered down fruit juice and smoothies sometimes. I'm not crazy honestly. I blame the pediatrician office. They have posters of babies with rotted out teeth. It's traumatizing.
