They've never had food die.

And so at birthday parties, they just know it's not this battle when, you know, they bring out this cake that's red and blue and purple.

The kids aren't like, can we please have some, please?

It's like, no, they just know that that's not something that we do.

And I always have something else ready for them.

So I'm not like being super mean, like you can't have anything.

And they're super happy with the substitute that I bring because it's something that they know and like and enjoy.

Yeah.

And then I also explain to my kids why we stay away from these things, that food dyes are linked to erratic behavior in kids and other issues.

And so we have those conversations and we're very open about that financially.

Funny, though, sometimes they will make comments to other kids when they're offered things like, sorry, we can't have that.

It's not healthy, which I think is OK to say, too.

But I also try to instill in them like, you know, we're not better than anyone because we adhere to these rules and because we eat differently.

That doesn't make us superior in any way.

You know, these families make these choices and we still love them.

We're not like going to judge them.

But this is how our family eats.

And I think if you're like really clear about that stuff, it does help them make sense of it all.

I'm someone that likes parameters and I like boundaries.

I think there's freedom within boundaries.
