[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So maybe the answer is we should collectively have LESS junk food as a society, not more.  Seems kind of bananas that the answer to your kids not developing a binge disorder is to provide them with more junk food. If this stuff wasn’t addictive, people wouldn’t be binging on it in the first place, ever.  Seeing as the vast majority of adults are overweight, keeping junk food all around your house doesn’t create heathy eating habits and teach moderation any better.

Have you never eaten a bag of chips or a lot of cookies?

This is common in our family. I would not say we do this often but I would not blink.

I’m a chip person. Our family eats chips during family movies. We crush a giant bag or may have 2 normal sized potato chip bags. I’m not proud of this but we do it. We may also eat ice cream. I used to do this with my friends as teenagers and college. We are a thin family.

DH and I used to be skinny and now not so skinny in our forties.[/quote]

I don’t think it is positive thing that eating entire bags of chips in a sitting is now normalized.  It’s only perceived as “ok” because you are thin. [/quote]
