Why Are Parents So Against?

[Kelly]

Remember, though, that children need more carbs than adults do. It is an important part of the diet. A low carb, diabetic diet for an adult is not appropriate for a healthy child.

Actually they don't. A low carb diet is not necessarily a diabetic diet (in fact the "diabetic diet" that my endocrinologist and her nutritionist recommend has 3 times the amount of daily carbs that a traditional low carb diet does!) and can be very healthy for both kids and adults, even paleo diets that don't include any grains and ketogenic diets that have almost no carbs at all. I think the most important factor is the quality of the food and I don't see processed baby cereal being very high on the quality spectrum.
