I’m not in favour of demonising any food. Food is just food. There is
nothing inherently ‘evil’ about one particular type over another.
Here’s a little story for you:
My son has Coeliac Disease, is lactose-intolerant and has an issue
with a particular preservative. In Prep he wanted to be just like the
other kids so he asked for a sandwich for lunch. The only gluten-free,
dairy-free, preservative-free bread I could find (all my home attempts
at that time failed miserably!) was a white bread. He was so happy to
have a ‘normal’ lunch.
Until he came home from school one day with an uneaten sandwich and in tears.
Why? Some lovely little child had bailed him up at lunch time and
told him that white bread was unhealthy. That it was really bad for you
and he should be eating brown bread >>because her mother said
so<<.
What works for one will not always be applicable to another. We’re all just doing the best we can.
