How did you have access to junk food at age 12 if it wasn't in your home?  The, "just don't buy it," theory relies on a 12 year old not being able to eat junk food that isn't there.  I rely on it for myself.  I don't have chips or candy or cookies or soda or crap in my house because I will eat it.  My child who cannot drive has no choice but to eat what I have for us at home.  Her snack choices are apples, bananas, carrots, humus, or popcorn.  I keep one kind of ice cream in the house that I won't eat.  My daughter and my husband like it and sometimes have some after dinner.  If my kid couldn't control herself, the ice cream wouldn't be there and we would have a dessert that I could make by individual portions.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but my sources of junk food were friends and the corner store.  I think most 12 year olds have enough freedom that they could get to store to get some snacks one in a while, or at least give money to a friend who would get them snacks.[/quote]

Exactly.  When I was 12 (and even younger) I would ride my bike to the convenience store and get chips and candy bars.  Not to mention, most of my neighborhood friends had parents that kept chips and sweets in the house. [/quote]
