after a healthy-eating talk at school, my 6 yr old checks every packet for sugar

she reads slowly so the shop takes forever now. refused her ammamma's besan laddoo because 'it has sugar inside, i can see it'. ammamma was not amused. good lesson i suppose but she has also banned ketchup for the whole family

    This made me laugh at 3 am in the middle of an on-call shift. Mine is far too small to read anything yet. I hope ammamma got her laddoo back eventually ❤️

      I teach older children, and the label-reading phase usually comes back around class 5 or 6 in a much stricter form. Enjoy the ketchup ban while it's only ketchup.

      laddoo was eaten in the end. ketchup ban lifted yesterday after she found out the school chutney has sugar too. new rule is sugar is ok if it's red
