Joe Wicks #6 My mum was a fail, she didn’t feed me kale

Weren't all kids in the 80s/90s fed sugary cereal? It was the trend at the time. The adverts were all over prime time tv and were aimed at kids. They used cartoon characters to target the advertising at kids. They still do! Some cereals were even promoted as being 'low fat' and were marketed as dieting aids. I'm really not buying that he was hard done by. It sounds like he had a relatively normal upbringing to me.

No he clearly doesn’t want it dipping back in...he just wants to chew the spoon! He’s so uninterested in food but they just keep shoving it in anyway.

He was quite rude about that spoon. The lady behind it gave it to him as a gift...”I didn’t think I’d use it...it’s actually quite a well designed product”. A tad ungrateful, he could just say it was a gift and it was well designed! The “actually” as if he assumed it’d be rubbish after he got given it...

As for the cereal...we’re a similar age and he seems to be assuming current trends in food applied then too. I loved a bowl of Riciles back then and although I wouldn’t personally feed my child that now, I don’t think my parents were childhood ruining monsters for feeding me that

If your baby isn't opening their mouth get your fucking spoon away

I've finally unfollowed. Really can't bare to see Marley having green slop spread all round his face for no reason anymore.

Kellogg’s variety packs were life! No one ate the cornflakes though did they? It was all about the coco pops and Frosties!!!

Heard about 5 mins of his live with SR nutrition and once again slamming his mother for giving him sugary cereal... Didn't we all have frosties or sugar puffs at one point, they were literally marketed to children. It wasn't like she was feeding him something illegal like crack cocaine but the way he talks about it is like his mother potentially could've ruined his childhood forever it's so ridiculous. Joe is literally still hyperactive now it's not because of some cereal... Your mum did her best Joe you don't have to find a way to slate her on every occasion!

They used to have toy in the box and often ran offers to send away for bowls or other branded items. We used to be allowed to put sugar on the more bland type - rice krispies or born flakes

My mother still has the toys we collected and man, we ate a LOT of cereal judging by the number of them! Thinking about it I was bottle fed too - hadn’t realised what monstrous parents I had

Did anyone else used to have one of the blander cereals then follow up with one of the sugary ones for a breakfast pudding?

I've got them spoons I got them a few weeks back he didn't explain them well-they are designed for blw because they dip and the holes hold on to the foods-like yoghurt or porridge they are dippers because babies can't scoop with a spoon. Ignorant-and yeah dismissive and pisses me off I paid full price and he gets them free and hasn't bothered to know why they are designed like that. I've just ordered a chewtensil today they are a dipper and a fork opposite sides look fab,bet he bloody gets one of them free too

Why are they feeding Marley so fast. He is still tasting and dealing with one mouthful and they're already trying to put a second mouthful in!!! Such big mouthfuls too! Slow bloody down. When my 6 month old doesnt want any we stop after a couple of tries and put everything away so as not to stress him. Next meal time hes fine. Practise what you preach.

Also, calm down Saint Joe, you're not doomed to a life of misery just because your Mam gave you a bowl of fucking sugar puffs as a kid. Christ. Build a bridge and climb the hell over it.
