RE: It Started So Innocently

in Reflections20 hours ago

Congratulations to the birthday girl, and to you and the wife on the anniversary! My niece is turning 5 soon, and I may resort to a "soft toy" as a present for her, too. I don't think I had realized your household has a dairy and gluten issue. I find the number of products which seemingly needlessly add milk to be frustrating, mad of course wheat is also everywhere. I approve of less sugar in pastries, too. I don't know what Finnish standards are, but here in the States, it is used way too much.

For that age, it is generally a good way to go.

Smallsteps had quite a limited range of food when she was young and is still lactose and gluten free. However, one benefit has been that she has had a very healthy diet also, and it might have affected her preferences now.

Far less than the US, but the global influence is shifting. When I came here almost 25 years ago, there wasn't much pre-cooked meals and packed food, and even take-away and fast-food was pretty rare or occasional. It has shifted a lot.
