Your food preferences — whether you favor processed foods or make your own meals and snacks at home — do not alone determine how healthy your lifestyle will be. It's a continuous process that is built through a number of choices that have been made to fit your health objectives.

It's simple to put off taking care of oneself in favor of what makes you feel good and that never-ending to-do list. Even just the idea of adding wellness to your list of priorities could tip the balance.

Still, it's important to make the individual actions necessary to achieve balance and ideal health more predictable. And because you are distinctive, so should be the foods you eat and the way you live.

Almost everyone enjoys cookies. Some people prefer to buy from the store while others prefer making theirs.

You've probably heard that creating your own baked goods is healthier than purchasing cookies, cakes, and other baked goods from the grocery store. But everyone is in charge of the sustenance they consume.

The OP in today's story made it clear to the niece who came to sell girls scout cookies to them that the cookies were unhealthy. Niece took it seriously and told her mom that she was done selling cookies because she didn't want to make people fat or unhealthy.

Of course, her mom, who is the OP's sister, got angry at the OP about it.

Here are some of the most upvoted comments from redditors for you to read through below

Let her know that food is meant to be enjoyed

They are not healthy to eat very often

She could have just said no thanks

Children have difficulty understanding nuance

She should know that cookies are a sometimes food

Stop putting values and labels on food

You don't have to but you should if you want to be supportive

Children do not think like adults so we have to teach them

You could have just said that you don't want to eat cookies

There is no need to lie to the kid

This redditor has a similar but funny story to share

The cookies were gone in a hot second

Gone are the days of making your kids a happy plate

Not a single food is healthy or unhealthy

It's a second grader not a death sales man

Girls Scout Cookies aren't the healthiest snack out there

Girls Scout should try and make another thing to sell

While some people prefer pre-made snacks, others opt for homemade alternatives. People forget how stressful it is to be a kid.

Those little brains just cannot tell the difference between what is and is not a crisis. Hence, the OP was given the "not the AH" verdict, and you can share this post if you're in agreement with the final verdict.
