More children were apparently sickened by apple puree pouches recently recalled due to dangerous lead contamination, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The agency has received 52 reports of elevated lead levels among children who reportedly consumed the products, which is up from 34 cases reported last week. The reports span 22 states and involve children between the ages of 1 to 4, according to the FDA’s online update on the investigation.
The pouches were marketed to parents and children under three brands: WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree and Schnucks and Weis cinnamon applesauce pouches. They were sold by national grocery chains, including Dollar Tree, and online retailers such as Amazon.
The FDA said it is still working with Dollar Tree to get the recalled products off of shelves in several states.
You tried to be sarcastic, but told the truth instead. The way you talk tells me that you are ignorant to the gigantic shift in one’s day to day life and mindset having a child is.
It’s something one cannot grasp as non-parent because it involves feelings and states.of mind that do not usually appear in a life without children.
So no, just as a psychologist will not dare to have opinions on how someone deals with grief, they can and will not have opinions about how parents do parenting.
Everyone who tries to push their agenda onto parents without being involved themselves is a hypocrite and nothing more.
Believe it or not, there are areas of life you aren’t entitled to voice your opinions about without looking like a dork of the first order.
Yeah that’s correct, I’m just very ignorant and have no way of sympathizing, empathizing or drawing parallels from parts of my own human experience.
Also, you said do not usually appear in life without having children, so what are the scenarios where hey appear without having children?
Wouldn’t that imply events that a non-parent could draw parallels from?
Being a parent is not a job, it’s an event that happens. It is not the only route to key insights into the human mind and psyche. Don’t be so limiting on your fellow members of humanity just because you have this bias that parenting Is the only way to this special subset of knowledge.
No, that would imply that not everyone who has those kinds of experiences is neccessarily a parent. There are many aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, whatever who raise kids in a parent-like fashion or help out significantly in the upbringing of those children that they’d have the same emotional experiences as parents. That does not go for childcare workers who have a different relationship to the kids. It’s just something completely different if you are responsible for organizing and structuring and executing a daily life.
What?! Like… just… what?! Yeah, sure… my work as a father was done at birth, parenting being a one time event and all. I gave my son a stern talking to about the meaning of life while the pediatrician examined him right after birth and that should have been that… right? May I ask how old you are? Have you the slightest grasp what the daily life of a parent looks like?! What the hell?!
Of course not. It is just (almost, see above) the only way to unlock the mindset of a parent. That’s not the only perspective life holds by any means, just one that cannot (and should not) be assumed one can relate to whithout any personal experience. Just as one who has never had to fear for their life assume that they know what being in a warzone and being shot at feels like. You wouldn’t give a soldier tips on how to handle their experiences without being asked, would you? Why is it okay to judge parents then?
It is though. Just as fearing for your life is the only way to experience how that feels, or just as falling in love is the only way to experience how that is like.
Imagine someone who’s never fallen in love or been in a relationship. No imagine that you have freshly fallen in love and had to go on a business trip with that person. While your hormones run amok and you experience physical pain from missing your new love just so much, imagine the other person lecturing you on how you should deal with the feeling and how you should go about the new relationship while judging you for the way you want to go about it because he is oh so sure he knows what’s up. Wouldn’t that kind of piss yo uoff?
