[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To someone who grew up in another country, the amount of shit food in the grocery stores here, and the huge amount of unhealthy take out food people eat, is pretty shocking. Kids don’t need snacks if they eat three good meals a day. And string cheese is not a healthful food. It’s processed crap that doesn’t taste anything like real cheese.[/quote]

I grew up here and agree with you. My kids are teens and so on their own for food other than dinner a home. But when they were little I didn’t have 5 kinds of “snacks” at the ready wherever we went, not needed or necessary for people eating adequate meals. [/quote]
I don't think anyone was arguing that you need to have a ton of snacks at home at all times. Just that a kid that is 13, 11 should be able to have a snack without asking mom first. Also, I objected to OP's controlling ways, where she says that well, her oldest can't really only snack on raising and blueberries, indicating that until now those were the snacks! And what to do now? Those are not the questions a person with a normal food relationship makes. I think her orthorexia of something is causing her to be rigid with her kids, who probably need more caloric foods.[/quote]
