Just two things about KD - added pureed roasted/cooked butternut squash to the mix makes it a little bit better (not much) and my own kids didn't notice it when i used to buy it.
One of my kids got so addicted to the stuff he would ride his bike to get a few boxes, make himself, and eat the whole thing (i figured cuz he was growing so much - 6"2 at 16 and 150 lbs) so i didn't think much of it.... well at annual doctor check up, his skinny self presented high blood pressure - in a child! i was shocked.... doctor said "how's your diet?".... I was embarrased cuz i always offer healthy choices to my kids, but when they grow up, they order themselves whole pizzas, eat hotdogs at their friends, eat entire boxes of KD.... Doctor said, "Smarten up, or you'll be in here before you're 30 with heart disease!". Doctor says he's seeing more and more kids developing high blood pressure these days ... i don't buy the stuff anymore, and neither does my son luckily. Kids can get high blood pressure, even if they're skinny.. .... just thought i'd put it out there.
