I never knew there were so many people with unacknowledged food issues.  Ideally, one would eat several small meals per day.  Since this is not always feasible, healthy snacking (NOT the salty, crunchy crap my MIL handed all of her kids because she was too lazy) - is fine.  It should not be constant grazing, however.

I never knew how prevalent eating disorders were, and in how many variations, until I met my MIL.  She comes from a very short family of women that do not eat much.  She grew up poor, and thinks anyone that eats healthy; if it is more than a very regimented, tiny portion of tiny meals, 3 times per day, without deviating, is "showing off".  I feel bad for her, but she is not one for change.  It is stressful to be around her during mealtimes, and my children, now that they are old enough to notice on their own, wonder why their grandmother has such unhealthy aversion to food.  I am glad, however, that they know unhealthy eating when they see it.  [/quote]
