[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grab some capri suns and one of those big bags of chip-type snacks, and clementines. Y'all can let your kids eat some/all of them or not according to your parenting beliefs. BTW folks on this area can be crazy.[/quote]

How can we not let our kids eat the snacks?  No, honey, everyone else can enjoy the chips, just not you.  Really?  Don't think we should have to put our kids through that.

I just wish it wasn't snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks all of the time.  We do have a food issue in the US.  And all of these parents saying "it's no big deal," I really, really wish we could track whether your kids become overweight as adults.  Because, likely, they will be...

From google this morning: "More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be OBESE. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered to be overweight or obese. The prevalence of obesity is similar for both men and women (about 36 percent)."

Don't those numbers make you want to raise your kids to understand healthy eating and snacking?  Your skinny little boy will end up as an overweight man.  But who knows, that may not bother you.  It does bother me.[/quote]
