[quote=Anonymous] I grew up with very limited and healthy food - my mother was on the no process food bandwagon way back in the 70s.  As soon as I was able to choose things in my own (ie lunch at school) I would make terrible choices.   Eventually I matured and and pretty healthy now, but definitely there were years of not great eating.

So, I haven’t restricted much with my own kids because I don’t think restriction sets up a good long term pattern.   I do provide them a healthy lunch and dinner (breakfast is usually simple) and they are at ridiculously healthy weights / good activity level.   But, I let them buy sugary and salty snacks.  I also try to bake a couple of times a week.  I find they are pretty good with self regulating.  They will eat the sugary  stuff for sure, but they don’t over consume, it’s not surprising that they say they are too full for dessert or snack after dinner.  I am sure many DCUMs would criticize our daily diets but again, we are all healthy weights, no health issues, no cavities, and active so I’m not stressed.  [/quote]
