Yeah, parenting can occasionally be patronizing. I'm cool with that. I really can't get behind the idea that just because a kid has female genitalia, everything they choose to ingest should be automatically okay lest we destroy her autonomy or something. I mean, 12 yr old girls make dumb choices on occasion, not because they are girls but because they are 12. And just because society hands us shit to feed them doesn't mean we need to accept it as a gourmet meal.
