Babybel

Again, depends on the chocolate! Good quality dark stuff (70% + cocoa) is full of flavinoids or something like that, antioxidants anyhow. Good fats too, some protein believe it or not, and lower in sugar than muck like galaxy. But then chances are your nipper won't have the palate for that yet, seeing as most adults don't!

There are better ways of getting dairy goodness than cheese, and many, many better cheeses than babybel, although again most of them are not really toddler fodder I imagine..

My wife has become addicted to the kids Babybels, too...
I can't see it being any more junk like than Gouda or edam, really.
As  for chocolate - I want sugar in mine, and lots of it!

after what they did to the beach boys it should be banned permanantly!

Who is she married to again?!?!?

PS.  Antioxidants........no empircal evidence...file under bunkum pedalled by "nutrionists".

pps.  Tasteless plastic.....now those cheese slices for burgers that are full of artifical flavourings and colourings...mmmmmmmmuummm!!

There's a big difference between a "Nutritionist" and a "Dietitian", at least in the UK. The latter requires an accredited degree, and anyone without the relevant qualifications will get in legal trouble for using the title.

The former, however- well, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. There are some very odd things that a lot of people who trade as "nutritionists" take seriously. Have a little reading for the afternoon

As for it being  a natural additive, take a look at this. Yes, it does occur naturally. But most of it available isn't.
