So if you take a kid who’s already not eating the best diet, which is probably causing slight behavioral problems from sugar highs and lack of nutrients, but nothing that’s easy to differentiate from typical toddler (or hey, teenager) behavior, and then add something else on top of it, like a widely known and “accepted” allergy medication, at what point does the straw break the camel’s back?

…At what point is the kiddo being affecting by all these little behavior-changing inputs so much that they’re acting like a whole different person?  

…The next time a kid loses their shit or is just being an absolute mindless raging ass, pause to ask the question- are they fully in control?  Are their bodies being given the right building blocks to mentally succeed and allow the choice of good behavior? Is cardboard food sparking behavioral changes that we then medicate to fix, and keep cycling down from there.

…where is the root value in how we’re spending our time, and should more of it be used making better food?
