he's so deprived

Gordon snuck these in our grocery cart. Usually I catch these sorts of things. It’s usually beer (which is just a joke…he’s never had a sip of the stuff). Or something full of partially hydrogenated oils.


I have a rule for our grocery store trips: no foods that have high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oils in them.


It just so happens that one of Gordon’s favorite foods (if you can even call them that) is fruit snacks. He loves them all. Especially the ones with the filling. Sadly, most of them are full of high fructose corn syrup. I’ve found alternatives for him. But he says they’re not the same.


And so he snuck in Mario Bros. fruit snacks. And like a little kid he said “but they’re Mario Bros.” and “they're made with real fruit”.

I’m such a mean wife.
really i am...apparently i made him feel so bad that he took the rest of the fruit snacks to his scouting activity for the boys to eat.  he only ate one package.  i do sort of feel bad.  but then i think about all the horrible things they are made of that he doesn't need in his body and i realize i'm really doing him a favor.
