You gotta understand, we keep a 2-1/2 year old granddaughter two or three days a week. She eats like an adult. Her favorite thing is ham! And while she spoons or forks food into her mouth she cannot bite apart pieces of ham, beef, or chicken. So I bought a $0.99 pair of kitchen shears at HF to use to cut up the meat. This is much easier than trying to use a knife. We are now up to four pairs in the kitchen so we always have a clean one. Wife uses them in her sewing, craft work. I am always getting a pair from the kitchen to cut up something. They can be used to cut open the plastic packaging on products. They can be used to open Amazon boxes. They are plastic with metal blades attached. Very cheap looking but they do the job and we haven't broke a pair yet.

What we originally bought to cut up a baby's food is now one of the most used tools in the kitchen. And just throw them in the dishwasher when dirty.

As for the two year old. Still eating everything on her plate and still weighing in on the lower thirty pounds. Guess she runs it off.

I agree. I've had a pair in the shop for years, and I'm always surprised at how sharp they still are, considering I use them to cut everything.

FWIW: I also keep extra pairs of trauma shears, aka bandage scissors around. They'll cut through a penny. I got in the habit of having them on me while scuba diving as they were easier to carry, and impossible to loose underwater, unlike a knife. Something like these. Dishwasher safe, autoclavable.

A primary care doctor that I worked with said to me once that he thought that the only fat two year olds were diabetic; for normal kids, their bodies are on overdrive growing and building inside.

All the best,

Peter
