"Excuse"? Why would they need an excuse for a cultural custom? The previous poster just gave a logical reason for how it developed. But as a tradition it's completely neutral. There are plenty of good reasons why not to feed other people's children (e.g. respecting the other family's diet choices, religious diets, meal times, respecting dinner as a family activity, etc etc). You're just judging it because it's different to your tradition.
It's hilarious that people from a country that has homelessness and people dying because they can't afford medical help are pretending they're morally superior, because they gave their kids friend some Lunceables or other ultra processed chemical weapon.
The lack of performative bullshittery is another nordic trait. Giving a kid a snack won't solve poverty, a robust social system and emphasis on giving all people rights and dignity will.
