[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing. I understand the context of eating disorders outweighs the concern about sugar. But it doesn’t mean we should have an all or nothing approach. Nobody is suggesting that kids diet should be micromanaged: they is what they want and how much they want. I am of the opinion that ideally sweets should be reserved for special occasions, like holidays and birthdays. What PPs might be missing is that it is not just “a little ice cream” every day. Kids are bombarded with sugar everywhere. Teachers bring candies and cookies at my MCPS school almost daily, school events include sweets, kids like to go to Starbucks or get bobba after school to hang out, as PP explained, some kids eat a bowl of ice cream at home after dinner, there are birthday parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving, sleepovers with sweets… it doesn’t stop. It needs to be managed, less sugar is better than more. At least, we should be able to limit ice cream for lunch. [/quote]
