At what age should a kid have the sense to stop eating snow?

We're supposed to stop eating snow?

I'm 34 and I like to eat snow.

I ate it in my 30s as well. If I still skied out west I'd still be doing it.

I also make snow ice cream with our preschoolers, so I suppose I'm also encouraging it.

Haven't you ever made snow cream with your kids?

Older than 50 apparently.

My 5 year old probably ate a few gallons.

Same age as when they stop throwing it...oh

My 10 yr old does it - drives me crazy.

As long as it's not blackened who cares? It would be different if dc were drinking from mud puddles.

Just don't eat the yellow snow.

I'm 34 and had a nice handful of crusty old snow today with my toddler. We went on to eat non-organic produce for lunch. Waiting for CPS to knock down the doors...

at 51, i am hoping the answer is 52, cause i wanna go where it is warm.

Wait. You're not supposed to eat it? I thought everyone ate snow. What about snow cream?

OP. Sounds like I am the crazy here! My DS was stuffing snow in his face today - quite a few days after the snowfall. I thought it was gross and we have the same conversation every year that it has contaminants in it even when it looks "pretty". But definitely gross after a few days on the ground. But I listening to DCUM feedback, and will rethink my stance. I did not grow up around snow, and that may be the issue. I guess it is normal, even a good thing to eat snow, even dirty old snow.
