Ten foods to never, ever let your kids eat

Here at SMM we consider the food children eat to be very important.

A balanced and nutritious diet can enhance academic performance for example, behaviour can improve and above all it can keep kids healthy.

So we were pretty horrified to see what constitutes food for some of our American cousins across the pond. Thankfully, so are they!

Momlogic, a US parenting site, lists its top 10 foods to "never, ever let your kids eat", and judging by the names alone it's easy to see why.

The list includes food concepts we never knew existed.

Such as Liquid Cereal, a "combination of real cereal and fat-free milk blended into a satisfying beverage". And served in a can. Nice.

Not the pick-me-up your child was hoping for? Why not chuck a bag of "highly" Caffeinated Chips their way (that's crisps to us Brits). That should see them through the morning register.

If you're concerned their energy levels haven't been pinged around enough for one day, slip a pack of Mess In Your Mouth Lunchables in their school bag. A ham, cheese and cracker snack with the unusual addition of popping candy.

That's right. Mess. In your mouth.

Good luck Michelle. It looks like you'll need it more than us.

Visit Momlogic for the full, quite literally disgusting, top 10.
