Food Eats You, but not children, it seems...
Emma:
I'll give it another go then. I'm sick of having to supplement sim-kids' diets with cookies.
jolrei:
Okay, I'll just damn well have the parents feed the kids then.
It's a bit of a gap though - infants and toddlers get managed by the baby controller and get their green liquid regularly. Teens and adults auto or macro eat from food in inventory. Children seem to be the great testing ground. Survive childhood, and you can survive anything.
Emma:
You've described life in the Pescado family perfectly :D
Millie:
I may be being stupid here, but this is how I feed the kids. Before the kids are born/when they are toddlers, I make a fair few amount of group meals and just stock them in the fridge as leftovers. Kids can then help themselves. Is that any use to you?

That's a good idea. For some reason, I also have this problem - I sometimes can't make children Macro>Eat. Sometimes they won't take things from their parents' inventories, and also, sometimes it doesn't show up under the Macro menu at all.
I usually make a few snacks for the kids for when they get home. (I stash the nanny off underneath the foundation or the attic or something.) I keep them put away using leftovers. It's funny; I've had a group meal of lobster thermidor (or an equivalent clone) last an entire family DAYS using leftovers.
You know what would be cool? If children didn't get the free food upon going to school unless they had a plate of food in their inventory, same with adults. That would rock. And perhaps for jobs and private school, if they DIDN'T, but their hunger got low, it would cost money, since they're going to the cafeteria or out to lunch or something.
