[quote=Anonymous]OP I get where you are coming from. I think at this age you don't need to go into specifics with your ds about obesity etc. that's a conversation to have if it's actually a problem for him. For now, just focus on being a good example and keeping him active and giving him healthy food choices. When he's a bit older and better at expressing himself (ie not in danger of inadvertently insulting someone) you can get into it. Or just focus on health and not the "fat" aspect of it. Instead of saying "we don't eat this food because it can make us fat" say "we don't eat this because it's not the best for our health". It's a shame that PC has gotten to the point that we can't have these conversations.[/quote]
