DS has learned to identify a certain smell given off by the food he’s eating that he thinks is the culprit. He told me he just stopped eating the food with “that smell” and has had no problems. Don’t know if it’s an additive that bothers him or just poor food handling, but as long as he stays away from the food with the funny smell, he does okay. As others have pointed out, it’s frustrating to have to buy into a meal plan when the food doesn’t seem up to snuff. The money could be better spent on healthier food. To eat poorly-prepared or bad-tasting food doesn’t help starving people in any way. In fact, most kids probably throw away unsavory food which is a big waste of money. There is no sin in enjoying well-prepared, savory meals. The ingredients don’t need to be expensive - just prepared by someone with a talent for cooking.
