This was always said mildly, as an observation, not an insult. Imagine if you met a toned, glowing Pilates mom who was feeding little Willow Kumquat a dish of homemade vegan non-gluten orecchiette and organic “cheese,” and you were feeding [redacted] a dish of Kraft, and the Pilates mom turned to you and said, mildly, as an observation: “Your child is eating Kraft mac’n’cheese.”

Whatever, I don’t know, my parents never let me eat Kraft mac’n’cheese even though I begged for it.

From an email I wrote this morning, to a friend who’s raising a young child. I couldn’t think of any other way to describe this thing people used to say to me.

It’s lunch time.
