Food Eats You, but not children, it seems...

Hunting around for info on this, I found this post:

My hungry kids aren't grabbing from inventory. Morty Roth had hamburgers in his inventory and the little boy was basically starving. No macro>eat option on the pie menu. I had to get him to eat cookies or die! (okay, be taken by SS but it didn't sound as good)
I had everything on-lot that I needed, Macro and FEY-wise.
I have the same thing going on. I have macrotastics and FEY running on the lot, but sim-6s will run hunger bars down into the red and trigger the "ur a bad parent - feed ur kidz!!11" message. There is food in parents' inventories, and parents will macro-eat, but the children will not. On school days, they seem to refuel at school, but on weekends, they starve unless I make a parent prepare a meal and serve it. Is this normal behaviour or am I doin' it wrong?
Emma:
I had to take FEY out as this was pissing me off totally. Pescado ignores any error/bug report I make because he is a buttcheek. Maybe he'll take notice of yours, mate. ;)
Kids eat fine with just Macrotastics installed, although it lets the hunger bar go extremely low before allowing them to grab any inventoried food. I don't get the SS warning 'feed your chilluns' with it though.
J. M. Pescado:
Food Eats You simply stomps autonomous fridge behavior. Since children cannot cook, they never really touch the fridge and thus apparently don't trigger the sign. Taking out the sign has no effect on anything, since the sign only fires when a sim tries to access the fridge. I have tried tweaking the child-advertisements on the sign so that they might pick it autonomously, but taking out the sign does absolutely nothing since children still cannot use the fridge on their own. STUPID EMMA!
Emma:
Oh, so it is macro>eat that is trying to starve the sim-kids then?
J. M. Pescado:
No, the kids simply naturally starve on their own because they do not have the ability to eat, and are not picking anything to eat or Macro-Eat. This is just EAxis behavior at work. It has nothing to do with Food Eats You, as Food Eats You *IS* child enabled and WOULD push macro-eat on them...if they had either chosen to interact with the fridge or the sign itself. I have tweaked the sign-ads to make it more likely kids will pick it.
