Getting a child to brush their teeth (or do it for them) is also a constant effort. So what? Just let them rot? Raising children well is not easy, we know that.
This is a weird argument. My kids eat carrots. I cut up the baby ones. They also eat chicken nuggets, hot dogs, corn dogs, grapes, apples, butter pasta, and a variety of foods. Simply saying eat a raw vegetable doesn’t really fix the issue.
Okay, good luck trying to convince a child of that, or someone who’s in the junk food loop.
Just eating raw carrots also sounds like a miserable experience, you need to make healthy meals.

So we agree, it’s not easy…
I don’t know if you’ve somehow read my original comment as pro junk food, but it’s not.

It is a super easy and first step to a more healthy diet. Not more and not less.
The part about “oh no it is so hard with children” was brought up by someone else.
So are we not allowed to change policies to make it easier?
Nice straw man you got there.
