These American moms don’t cook like you and me

Under the hashtag #kidsmeal, on TikTok, you can find food and drink.tiktok screenshot

They get millions of views with their videos, each more obscene than the other. These American moms are filming themselves cooking for their kids and it’s scary.

Follow the steps carefully: an industrial package of sausage sausages, garlic powder, a mixture of suspicious spices, a gallon of milk, 3 jugs of cream, two packages of macaroni, two bags of dehydrated cheese, salt, pepper, mixed well with a vigorous gesture and tada! You get one of the many meals that Alexandra Sabol offers on TikTok. And it’s not a recipe for the day after the party. This dish is then served to his three children.

Alexandra Sabol is far from an isolated case. There are hundreds of videos of this type, and the mothers who specialize in this culinary field based on fat, fat and fat are mainly American. But not the USA in New York or Los Angeles. Deep America, the America we don’t see in Netflix series and movies. Alexandra Sabol lives in North Carolina and according to her numerous videos, she comes from a relatively poor background and rides her success (551,000 followers) by promoting various products.

But the socio-economic level is not always an excuse. He, a nanny behind the TikTok account Daily Meal Ideas, is followed by 729,000 followers. Most of the products she uses come in plastic bags or cans. Everything is highly processed to the point that you wonder if certain ingredients are available in Switzerland.

This world based on 5 liter bottles of oil, spray butter, industrial cheese and canned meat is also the one where we use disposable paper plates for every meal to avoid doing the dishes. It’s the one where you buy packages of chopped apples instead of whole apples or baby carrots instead of regular carrots. It’s the one where we film us throwing away vegetables that have been in the fridge too long. Too bad! That way, there will be more cheese on the pizza!

The Polish mom followed by 118,000 fans on TikTok will dazzle you with her recipes, which mainly consist of opening packages and sprinkling all her ingredients with powder of all kinds. One of his most viewed videos on the social network is a tortilla recipe. But to make the sauce, which would require many ingredients, as she says so well, but also a lot of time and know-how, she throws a ball of spices, a kind of Mexican bouillon cube, into water and hmmm! Too good! No more going to a Mexican restaurant and spending $200. She is the one who says it.

Are they doing it on purpose?

We can easily fall into the nimbus of these TikTok accounts. Moreover, numerous comments under these videos prove that a large part of the Internet users watch these videos as if they passed a car accident on the highway: both fascinated and disgusted. And these mothers know it and probably play on this morbid curiosity, which strangely makes us scroll for a long time on their profile.

But these mothers are not second-rate. The proof with the nanny behind the Meal Ideas account. When she saw the many reactions that her post provoked, especially the frozen meatballs seasoned with an entire tube of barbecue sauce (15 million views), she could not resist responding in the video:

“90% of the comments under my meatball video say I’m poisoning children. But what fascinates me, do people from Poland or Germany or other countries who comment… Can you tell me what you feed your children?

You didn’t have to ask them to bring out the classic fish, eggs, steamed vegetables, grilled chicken, sweet potato fries, or mozzarella tomato salad. But no one suggested throwing gravy cans into a pot. If Ballerina Farm saw this, she would faint.
