You should hear them complain about all the "healthy food" in the house. How come we don't have chips and things like all their friends? So, I'm up for suggestions.

Just say, we love you enough to want you to eat healthfully. Your dad and I don't eat junk, you shouldn't either.

My kids will always snack on fresh fruit if it's around, particularly grapes, strawberries, bananas, etc.
I also always have PB&J fixings around with whole wheat seedy breads. Not the most ideal, but I like the idea that they are at least eating food with some nutritional value than none.
