[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids will eat 5 Asian pairs in a day, or an entire bag of grapes, or 5 big navel oranges if you let him. He’s 12. We do limit him. Not because I’m worried about his health but I’m not paying for a $100/wk grape habit and sometimes the rest of the family wants some too. Limits vary, but two oranges a day, plus other fruit, is plenty in my book.[/quote] 100% this. It's not about the fruit. It's about learning to share/thinking of other people. A week worth of fruit should last more than a day. And your children should learn to stop themselves if they have the thought "other people might want some, and they haven't had any yet" Don't allow selfish behavior under the guise of "healthy eating"[/quote]
