Shmiras Haloshon: There are some kids who will only eat certain foods. My cousin pretty much only eats soup with those Osem botnim and cereal with milk. (I know they’re both foods with spoons and liquids and bowls and floating objects – but I think it’s more complicated than simply turning his salads into bloated gardens and dinner plates into free style swimming chicken and potatoes).
All of his older and younger siblings eat everything, and he’s refused to eat much else since he was a kid. I think he feels sick afterwards. He’s willing to go hungry if forced to eat something else. I’m not his mom and I know his mom has done a lot. But I don’t think he’s the only kid with a monopoly appetite. The trick, I think and I’m no expert, is to work with what the kid already likes and is willing to eat and go from there.
ZD: Two sources…
1) “Sorry, Pregnant Women, You Still Can’t Eat Sushi” (ABC News)
“Still, pregnant women are told not to eat raw or under-cooked fish for several reasons, said teratologist Robert Felix, who studies and counsels women on how things during pregnancy effect their unborn children. If it is not prepared and handled properly, sushi can cause parasitic infections, be cross-contaminated by bacteria or other substances or contain high levels of mercury, Felix said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that pregnant women only eat fish cooked to at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.” (ABC News)
2) *Pregnancy and Fish* (Mayo Clinic)
“Are there other guidelines for seafood during pregnancy?
Consider these precautions:
…
Skip uncooked fish and shellfish. To avoid harmful bacteria or viruses, don’t eat uncooked fish and shellfish, including oysters, sushi, sashimi and refrigerated uncooked seafood labeled nova style, lox, kippered, smoked or jerky.
…
Cook seafood properly. Most seafood should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F (63C). Fish is done when it separates into flakes and appears opaque throughout.” (Mayo Clinic)—-
Why would you want to risk your baby’s life just for a bite of sushi?Thanks Joseph!!! âēâēâē
Don’t sushi menus have a special notice saying that consuming raw fish may come with risks for pregnant women?
Having a “Sushi Free” Home means that you’re welcome for all women and couples -including women trying to conceive, and women who are unsure if they’re pregnant, as well as those pregnant who haven’t shared the news yet!
It’s a place where you can host a variety of women, all the while having them feel at ease about not having to explain why they’re not eating the sushi tonight – especially in cases where maybe last month she raved about how she loved sushi, and now she wants to maintain her modesty without making up a story.
Imagine how thoughtful it is if a rabbi and rebbetzin – who may or may not personally enjoy sushi – decided to give it up for the sake of making all their guests, present and future – welcome in their home!
Wait wait wait wait wait!!!!
What if the only thing a kid will eat is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!
Great! Start with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today.
Tomorrow, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with 1/6th less peanut butter, 1/6th almond butter (or soy butter or sunflower seed butter or whatever else is permitted). Add a little extra jelly or change up the jelly.
Then go from there – if all is well, keep increasing the other butter, and decreasing the peanut butter.
Eventually b’esrat Hashem, the kid will still only want to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and won’t know that it’s actually peanut free now!

Happy Birthday Mod-100!!! Okay we won’t get you presents, but do you accept checks? cash? gift cards? đ
Dill pickle almonds
Dill pickle cashewsMaybe the whole resistance to the ban on peanuts was manufactured by The Hershey Company, who has successfully gotten to the minds of many Americans – all for the sake of protecting their Reese’s peanut butter cups and Reese’s pieces.
Did you know that sesame seeds are the peanut butter of Israel?
Well kind of.
Some children have sesame seed allergies.
Sesame seed paste – tahina (tahini) is popular on pita bread, like peanut butter was/is popular on sliced bread in the US (possibly in other Western nations?)
And finally, kids watch Sesame Street in Israel, Rachov Sumsum – instead of Peanut Street like kids watch here

Bigger hats do offer more sun protection.
Are bigger hats more likely to go airborne?
Do any of these bigger hats come with those side straps that wrap under the chin, to prevent them from flying off?
On the flip side, I know families who moved to NY for better chinuch and shidduchim – being without a Jewish community and schools was a bigger cost to their lives
Hashem created both inch worms and centipedes
Auto-correct doesn’t work for us; auto-correct words for them!
Just send kids to the peanutorium
RebYidd23: Many reasons
1) Those non-allergic kids can have allergic siblings.
2) The school building may be used as a disaster relief zone in an emergency, and allergic may be directed to take refuge in said school building during a cs”v emergency precisely because it’s a somewhat controlled safe zone for peanut sensitive children.
3) A kid becomes allergic later on.
4) Next year there may be an allergic kid.
5) Why not? What is the alternative? Schools must be prepared for emergencies and constantly update the supplies on hand – and up their insurance to cover the costs of an allergy emergency? Put lives at risk? Why not just eat other foods?
6) Even kids/people who aren’t deathly allergic to peanuts may still have unpleasant reactions to aflatoxins – and now they have a reason to find a healthier alternative for them.
7. What DY said!
8. Is it safe to alternate sleeping between the north (where your pillow and head goes) and south (where your feet go) ends of your mattress on the same unwashed sheets – thus getting feet skin cells on your face and face skin cells on your feet?
9. Can you eat the contents of the frozen pack of peas that you just used on a fresh bruise to reduce its swelling for the past hour?
10. Is it safe to get a job as a parking enforcer?
1. Unsure
2. Depends on the mosquito
3. No! – If you have children/pets. Call the boric acid company!
4. Depends.
5. Closer than standing next to someone opening a pull-tab can of tuna, and farther than someone who is about to sneeze into their elbow crease.
6. Yes, and I’m sorry George Washington Carver – thank you for letting me learn about you in elementary school.
7. What Mod-29 said! đMeno: Would you store the cold brew in the fridge all week?
Which would sustain you longer if you had only that and water for weeks?
Is there a statue of limitations on how long Jews can reasonably speculate about the halachic basis of a ger’s conversion?
At what point does it become a “case closed and let’s move on”?
Can you make potent coffee ice cubes once a week, and then put them in a cup of room temperature water for go-to cold brew?
Yes I am a clueless diaspora Jew and have no clue what you’re talking about.
Maybe you’re in another Coffee Room?
I cannot say that I’ve gotten this post before in my life. I have gotten a whole bunch of ones telling me to slow down, as a result of double clicking Submit.
Hmm… I’ll let you know if anything here changes.
