The mom is nuts. Konjac jelly has almost no nutrients. Those things usually have anywhere from 5-60 calories, depending on the additives used. If real fruit juice is used, its closer to the 60 calories, and if its made with no sugar and no juice, they’re closer to 5 calories. Depending on the brand, sometimes vitamin c, prebiotics, probiotics, or collagen will be added. But it has almost no nutritional content. Making a young child have that in lieu of two meals is nuts. Doing it occasionally is fine, or just having it as a snack. But if she’s forcing him to eat that way consistently, forget growing, little guy will just end up malnourished.
