[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None, and if I have it my way, they never will. I don't care what their friends are drinking. Mine have never complained about not having had pop. They know it's unhealthy, and not something anyone their age should be having. [/quote]

Do they also feel the same way about cookies or ice cream?  What does age have to do with it?  Yes it is way too much sugar but the same can be said about other treats.[/quote]

They don't eat junkfood, and yes, they feel the same way about the other stuff, too. FWIW, I don't care what you choose to feed your kids. [/quote]

Are there people who aren’t on tv who just have cookies and cake and ice cream in their house all the time? [/quote]

No soda in this house, although if my kid was at an event or party (not happening these days) I wouldn't worry about her having it. We do have several kinds of popsicles and ice cream in the house at all times. Right now, we also have gingersnaps and I might make cake today. [/quote]

I posted about the 9yo who is making healthier choices.  She bakes at least once per week, and we make frozen yogurt from Greek yogurt and fruit at least once per week.  She can make more anytime she wants to do so, and we previously had ice cream in the house at all times (limited ingredient, but still ice cream).

One of her current ideas is to macerate fruit (and sometimes herbs), then soak it in water in the refrigerator overnight.  She's using the macerated fruit for baking while she drinks the water.  I have no objection to her experimenting, and I'm certainly not going to limit her cooking and baking.  DO I want her to make more than we can reasonably eat in a few days?  No, but that has more to do with wastage and freezer burn.[/quote]
