Parenting Note #313 – Give Them Healthy Snacking Options

This trail mix was marked “healthy” but there’s absolutely nothing healthy about M&Ms.

Anything with candy in it ceases to be healthy.

It’s only healthy if the other food options available are even unhealthier. M&Ms are the healthy option if the alternative is a stick of butter wrapped in just bacon fat.

Damn it. Now I’m craving bacon fat wrapped butter sticks.

I guess it’s time to visit a county fair.
