Martha Stewart Says Kids Shouldn't Be Eating Chicken Fingers And Fries

The 80-year-old homemaking maven is all about thirst traps, salad selfies, and a crispy white wine pic to kick off the weekend.

Most recently, however, an argument broke out in the comments section of a recent post involving a seafood stew that I can only describe as dishy and delicious.

"For easier, less messy eating, we recommend slicing the kernels off the cob and adding them back into the soup for your little ones," the caption read.

"Have you met children?" wrote one follower.

"My kid wouldn’t go within 40 feet of that and he eats dirt," said another.

"You clearly did not raise your daughter!!!" wrote a different user. "Kids won't eat that!!"

"I don't think children should be fed chicken fingers and mashed potatoes or French fries," Martha told Insider in a new interview.

Martha went on to explain that she fed her daughter that very same fish stew when she was growing up. "She ate everything. She did not turn her nose up at anything. Her palate is extraordinary." 

"They do not turn anything away," Martha continued. "I took them on a safari to Africa, they ate ostrich. They ate all kinds of strange things."

"They've been reading menus since they were two years old," she added. "So they know exactly what they want." 

I think there's nothing wrong with exposing your children to "adult food" from an early age, but if they're picky, just remember that fed is best.
