A mom got really upset when her little girl, who is just 3 years old, came back from school one day upset because her teacher said something about her lunch. The mom, Caroline, who shares stuff on TikTok as @pezzi.shop, told everyone that her daughter was told she had to eat her “good” foods, like a sandwich and cucumbers, before she could have her “bad” food, which was a cookie. Caroline didn’t like this because she believes that no food is “good” or “bad”; it’s all just food.

Caroline felt a bit annoyed by what the teacher said because she thinks it’s an old-fashioned way to talk about food. She told her daughter, “That’s silly. There are no good foods or bad foods. Food is just food.” Then, she decided the best thing to do was to write a note to the teacher. She put a note in her daughter’s lunchbox that said, “None of her foods are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ — they are just food!”

People on social media had different opinions about the mom’s note. Some thought Caroline could have just talked to the teacher instead of leaving a note. One person said the teacher might not have meant anything bad by it. Another person, who is a teacher, totally agreed with Caroline, saying calling foods “good” or “bad” could lead to bad eating habits. Someone else said it doesn’t matter what order you eat your food in, as long as you enjoy your meal. And another person mentioned they don’t care what part of the lunch their daughter eats first, as long as she’s happy and can concentrate in school.

Caroline shared that she didn’t always think this way about food when she was younger, but learning more as an adult helped her make better choices for her daughter.
