You did that on purpose. Come clean.

What? Another who/that conflict?

"shoes ... the rugrats will eat."

Maybe they've seen *The Gold Rush*.

Ahhhhh....perfectly clear and normal construction. If you make it
"She doesn't want things the rugrats will eat brought in on shoes"
it's not really a better sentence. It makes it sound like the idea of
the sentence is how things the rugrats will eat are brought in when
it's only things brought in on shoes that are of concern.
