Stop Judging My Food: Post on Today.com

It can be difficult to share what you shop, cook, and eat on the internet. But what is most difficult, I believe, is to make food for our families every day without knowing if they’ll even eat it. Being the cook of our homes is not an easy job; and, it’s often unappreciated and our efforts go unnoticed.

A while back, this lunch picture received many comments when I shared it on Facebook. Some were positive while others were quite hurtful. I felt so ashamed about sharing this picture that I deleted the post.

As I’ve grown to accept that not everyone will agree with everything I share online, I’ve become more accepting of their opinions. I’ve realized that we all come from a different place; and often times, our own insecurities is what brings forth judgment.

Today I shared a post on TODAY.com titled: Stop Judging My Food. I hope it resonates with some of you and inspires you to do your best. Parenting is hard enough, doing our best is all we can do! Click here to read the post. 

If you find the post at all encouraging, please share it on social media and click on the bubble to give it a “vote up”. Thank you!

    I read your post on Today.com (I HAD to know what awful quote someone left for you about that gorgeous lunch pictured above… I couldn’t even guess!). Of course we bloggers are all in this together (the negative comments game) and it is so hurtful. One negative comment can overshadow 100 loving comments. You are obviously a massively successful entrepreneur so I really have no business offering you advice. But, if I could say one thing that has helped me in this situations, it’s this: Remember your target market. The people who leave comments about organic produce are NOT your target market, I suspect. So, their opinions don’t matter. You are serving parents who are trying to make every meal count with their kids, and to sneak in more nutrition whenever possible. Heck – parents who would SHRIEK to see their child eat any kind of berry at all. As long as your target market is happy with your lunch pictured, that’s really all you need to worry about. The rest is just fluff. 🙂 Sorry for the unsolicited advice. It just really helped me when a fellow blogger shared it with me. Best wishes.

      thanks so much Meggan. The post itself wasn’t just for me, but for all of those people who often feel like they aren’t good enough, they are not doing a good job, and for those who just feel judged for doing their best.

    We need, as a society, to stop judging a lot of things. When did people begin to believe that a difference of opinion made it okay to be nasty to one another? We need to spend more energy building one another up, or if not, simply minding our own biscuits!
