I don't bother my wife when she's out having her girls' night because I want her to go easy on me when she gets home and sees our youngest is awake two hours past his bed time, watching Dragon Ball movies with me.
And the wife is both happy at seeing this wholesome moment and also dreading coming home because that kid is gonna bomb the unholy fires outta that diaper.
My wife always laughed when I'd take our boy out for lunch and report back that I'd gotten two pieces of pizza into him. Trick was keeping the slice right there in from of his gobbling little maw. He'd nap HARD all afternoon after a killer lunch like that.
OK, image search today is freaking amazing. I didn't know about Yayoi Kusama. So the iconic pumpkin sculpture he made is a big deal... lots of replicas around to buy. But who made this freaky and fun video using the Kusama pumpkin as a prop? https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2009/yayoi-kusama/?works=7
it's fine. probably a bit too salty for the kid and obviously not particularly healthy, but as a treat / exception there's nothing wrong with it - nothing a kid's digestive system couldn't handle, assuming it's not drowned in hot sauce or something...
They have lots of practice chewing at that point, so the chance of choking goes down significantly (it's never zero, even in adulthood, mind you). But it's probably not good to allow them to eat too much of it, though. You'll wind up with a hefty baby, but Dad's probably only doing this while Mom is out, so they're both having a bit of fun.
As per Wikipedia: "A vomitorium is a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre or a stadium through which large crowds can exit rapidly at the end of an event. They can also be pathways for actors to enter and leave stage."
Ancient Roman pizza was a sad tomato-less affair though. Imagine traveling back in time, becoming emperor of Rome, and being unable to get any Italian food. No pizza, no pasta with a familiar sauce, no gelato, not even an espresso. When you ask for a proper meal they serve you underseasoned mutton or gamey pheasant, coarse bread, dates stuffed with pepper, and weird stuff like flamingo tongues or sea urchins in fermented fish sauce (potentially w.tapeworm larvae)
It's so easy to become forgetful of historical context. Some people glorify the past and talk about how great it would be to live in a given time, but... nah, pretty much life sucked for the 99.9%, and even the 0.1% who had it good would be so envious of us in our time with all the choice and comforts we have on hand.
At least they had cheese... 😏😋 But yeah, grilled cheese gets mighty boring after a while.
We live in the best time right now. The immense diversity of foods accessible to so many people is unbelievable. But... while we enjoy such bounty, it's still unbelievably sickening to think of how many people are starving. It doesn't have to be this way. But, enough of that...
I had issues with my kids not wanting to eat anything. He also has sensory issues. We are actually taking him to a chiropractor that helps kids with sensory issues. I’m Classically medically trained so I don’t understand his treatment but other parents have sworn by it and are happy with the results.

The strategy backfires because they don't have the same neuro/social/emotional set up. Could you eventually torture compliance out of some? Maybe. Others have landed themselves in the hospital. But the point is they aren't 'just' refusing. And trying to use food as a weapon is going to achieve the opposite of what you want.
Possibly? Maybe they made the crust thicker so it seemed a better value - more filling? Or maybe they just roll out the middle and leave the big edge to save on toppings?

Damn, can he adopt me? I wanna be fed a whole pizza

It's okay to feed kids that small pizza? I am genuinely asking, I have no idea about children...
thelonepig
No, it's not healthy and there's no reason to feed babies garbage except it makes adults smile.
howwouldyoudescribeyourself
That kld looks older than 1, prolly around 1.5 yrs. So yes, very much okay. Add some vitamins and a lot of water bc salty, and you're good to go.
Simonator
Mum tells.me i was on rusks by the third week and sandwiches by three months, and I'm still alive so far as i can tell, so it's probably okay.

The child is not merely being fed, but catered in the fashion of ancient Roman Emperors! Great dad! (...I think.)

The thought of Italy without tomatoes is super weird and sad.
MrNobodyWTB
I find it ever more weird that there's some people out there that still don't understand that the Tomato was not native to Italy.

That's why they were so aggressive and expansionist. They knew they were out there, they were looking for them. A void in their souls.

Also never let their kids go outdoors, it seems.

Sunlight alone isn't enough. I need prescription vitamin D pills despite a healthy diet and pale skin.

Personally, just don't buy those two things, and at about the 12-30 hour mark, he'll probably eat whatever you put in front of him.

Kids can go a few days without eating. Assuming you're not talking Rain Man level divergent I think it's ok to not give in.

Why is that crust is so thick
SuckMyFatOne
As thick as my grammar in this comment
JackieTreehornProductions
because it's only $9.95 at Costco food court
SuckMyFatOne
Costcos is more like a thin piece of cardboard
JackieTreehornProductions
My Costco pizza is NOT THIN. It's big puffy crust but thin in the middle. Like this post was.
SuckMyFatOne
Maybe Canadian Costco pizza is different? I used to work there and it was cardboard crust or nothing
JackieTreehornProductions
Possibly? Maybe they made the crust thicker so it seemed a better value - more filling? Or maybe they just roll out the middle and leave the big edge to save on toppings?
