shoesthatilike:

I would like to take this moment to thank my “hippy” parents who fed me homemade baby food, wouldn’t let me have sugary cereal, taught me moderation, refused to have their daughter order chicken fingers off the kids menu, thought McDonald’s was disgusting, and made me eat my veggies. For the record, chips and french fries were not and are not veggies.

I used to pine after the sugary cereals that stocked my childhood friends’ shelves, but now, I’m greatly appreciative of my parents and their love of Bran Flakes. 

“Chips and french fries comprise half of all the vegetables kids eat.”
