I am curious about rice or oatmeal for kids? Is that something that you have an opinion on introducing? Is this something that you include in adult diets either?
Definitely NOT a priority of nourishing our kiddos or ourselves! We get into this topic here too and advocate grain free as a priority or a real food approach whether low glycemic or keto. https://www.alimillerrd.com/podcast/naturally-nourished-episode-88-nourishing-your-toddler-and-stellas-2nd-birthday/
