That story doesn't make sense because the idea of a classroom with an "unlimited snacks" policy, where the snacks are Doritos is insane. And if that kid is eating 3 bags of chips daily at school, then by your logic, wouldn't they eventually STOP eating those chips because now they have access to them? Or at least moderate. But they don't, do they? Perhaps that kid is the sort who will never be content with occasional junk food, and binges on it as long as it's available.[/quote]

My kid gets occasional junk food at home and if she was offered unlimited junk food at school, would gorge on it daily. Junk food is designed specifically to make people do that.

What if, crazy idea I know, we didn't offer Doritos (which have absolutely no nutritional value) as a snack at school? [/quote]

No it just sounds like your kid is hungry. May have a bigger appetite but isn't getting enough food because it sounds like you are controlling and tell them how much they need. They aren't binging just because it's there. They're either hungry or doing it because of they want what they can't have. That was the PPs point that was completely missed. [/quote]
