Disclaimer: I haven't done much research on kids nutrition. It makes logical sense to me that kids are small adults. Yes their caloric/vitamin needs are different, but it's a matter of degree. I don't think they need separate foods, just different amounts. Also, nutrition research is terrible. I encourage you to read the book Big Fat Surprise: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy-ebook/dp/B00A25FDUA
Some may find this offensive, but it's a fact- there are more overweight children then ever before. Perhaps special "kids foods" weren't sure a good plan? I think eating real food is always the right answer. Not all sweeteners are artificial. Erythritol and stevia are plants. Highly processed, but still plants. My son is 7 mo old, so he's only eating fruits, veg, and meat now. For his first birthday I'll make his cake with swerve and almond flour. When we go on a cruise for his first bday, he will be eating no sweets. Occasionally at home I'll let him have real white sugar, because I don't want a rebellious teen who will eat all bad stuff because I never let him have it. But look, we're the parents, right? It is our job to show them how to eat and live.
Ha, sorry for being long winded. I am passionate about this stuff. I think given that metabolic disorders are now being seen in children, like type 2 diabetes, whatever most people have to say about nutrition is basically wrong. Check out the kids trick or treating tonight. How many of them are overweight? It's not a judgment thing, just a fact. If I can't find pre made stuff with stevia of erythritol, I'll make it myself. Otherwise my son will only have that stuff once in a great while :)
We're not. You're assuming those things are inherently bad for you. They're not.
Check out the book The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz. It's a life changer.
Edit: and here's my blood work: https://imgur.com/a/BmpS8mk
I wouldn't. Many, many doctors, dietitians and nutritionists recommend not doing keto due to years of misinformation and flat out wrong "facts", sponsored by the sugar industry and Big Agriculture.
Take your co-pay and buy the books below instead. For yourself. You don't need to convince anyone that your choices are OK.

Edited to add: Here are my lipid results on Keto. I've lost 40lbs too.
Read all of the great success stories on weight and other issues that are helped by Keto. They're all here, just search on things like diabetic, GERD, IBS, depression, lupus.... many stories of greatly improved or cured.
Don't laugh too hard....
I use tallow for thread tapping. Tallow (rendered beef fat) is extremely stable and does not go rancid. There is a hot dip wax formula for chain lube that includes tallow. If you are an old machinist, you are familiar with different types of "natural" lubricants.
I have seen lard mentioned as a lubricant in the old books but on a serious note, I see no use for it on a bicycle. Lard mixed in with chain wax makes sense as it would lower the melting point of the wax if that is indeed a property you want. I find just plain hot wax to be incredibly good by itself.
Prior to oil being pumped out of the ground animal fats and processed seed oils were used for lubrication. Once the seed oil market started collapsing they started to sell it for human consumption. Rape Seed oil was popular, for machine use and was poisonous. Selective breeding has removed most of the poison and it was renamed to Canola Oil because what woman is going to buy rape oil.
Big Fat Surprise is a great book on the history of fats for human consumption and takes a very close look at the studies that out low fat, high carb diets are based on.
> I couldn't imagine staying on keto for the entirety of my life. Low carb yeah, but keto, while awesome for weight loss, is ott for maintenance imo.
You should take a look at what carbs do to your body, in the short term and over time. Those books listed on the keto calculator page are not just different variations on "cut carbs, lose weight." This is not "Read one, you've read them all." The historical context of why we have been told to eat lots of carbs and limit fat, despite so much science to the contrary, is complex and cannot be covered in a single volume. The depth and domino effects of the problem are still being figured out.
I'd start with The Big Fat Surprise as a contextual basis for Grain Brain, which in turn prepares you for Brain Maker. Big Fat Surprise meticulously pieces together the origin and evolution of the carbohydrate boom, and Grain Brain and Brain Maker explain how to get yourself out of its path. Judging by the perspective that you appear to be coming from, the first chapter of BFS will probably drop your jaw. And it just keeps going like that. This is a seriously deep rabbit hole.
>I'm also critical of the possible long term health implications, scurvy, immune function etc.
I'm not sure I understand. I could not carry in my arms the variety of vegetables that are abundant with Vitamin C. As for immune function, low carb is pretty well-established as a positive contributor. Like I said, domino effects. It's all in those books. How did we get vitamin C before the adoption of vegetables and fruit into our diets? Again, it's in the books.
You don't even need to buy them. You can probably borrow them from your local library, in either physical or e-book form. My library even loans its e-books through Amazon, so they go straight to my Kindle. It's a pretty slick system.
I listened to her audiobook via my public library's Overdrive and can only recommend every person interested in really understanding the mechanics behind our current state of nutrition listen or read it. I enjoyed the listening because I could rewind and rewind and then let it sink in. I am not getting any benefit from Amazon just found that link with reviews might be helpful. https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy-ebook/dp/B00A25FDUA

Also know that while they pretend otherwise, even the American Heart Association knows that dietary saturated fat has zero scientific evidence that it is harmful.

Dr Berry has tons of Youtube videos with links to articles in regards to the healthy benefits of keto and carnivore.
This is a good read on the subject.

Basically a lot of the "science" that says saturated fat is bad has actually lead to the obsiety epidemic. Also the "science" isnt really science at all. But I encourage you to read, research, and make up your own mind. Don't listen to one or two reddit comments blindly backing either argument.

Diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are all diseases of civilization caused by the diet consisting of various forms of sugar, dwarf wheat and corn. Here is some suggested reading material as random person off reddit doesn't exactly have much authority:
You can probably find these books at your local library as well.
