Are corn dogs junk food?

Walking back from the beach, Robert was waiting for his corn dog (aka favorite food) to cool.

Robert: Mommy, are corn dogs junk food?

He knows the answer because we talk about it nearly every day since he requests to eat corn dogs nearly every day.

Me: Yes, Robert, they are.

Robert: Why?

Me: Because they don't have very many vitamins in them. Unlike broccoli, or apples.

Robert: But they do! They have vitamins in them, that's what makes them so delicious.

Me: Reeaaaallllyyyy

Robert: Yes, teeny tiny little vitamins in them make them taste good. Teeny tiny itsy bitsy vitamins.


How can you argue that the vitamins in corn dogs are teeny tiny?

  1. Very cute. Emma requests hotdogs for every meal & we haven't got into why she can't eat them all the time yet. We haven't tried corn dogs, I am not real sure if she would go for that or not.
