[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to accept that the current system you set up is not working. Maybe work with your daughter's therapist to try a new approach. I was raised in a very food-restricted home and would "steal" and hide food (and as is fairly common with those dynamics, developed an eating disorder as a teen). My kid has free access to any food in our home and it works great for us.[/quote]

It may work great for you, but what is the answer when you’ve been doing this and one child starts becoming overweight? [/quote]

It’s difficult to eat so much nutrient dense food like fruits and veggies that it’s unhealthy.[/quote]

It is also near impossible to only keep fruits and vegetables in your house.  That isn't a helpful suggestion.  [/quote]

Nope, it’s not.

Bags of dry beans, brown rice, quinoa, popcorn, etc
Cans of diced tomatoes, tomato paste
Small packages of nuts and seeds
Small containers of fruits and vegetables we dehydrated
Fruit on the counter with winter squash
Herbs grow in jars on the window sill
Onions in a paper bag in one cabinet
Apples on newspaper in another cabinet
Potatoes in another cabinet
Sweet potatoes in a fourth cabinet
Fifth cabinet has spices, oils, etc.
Veggies and fruit in the fridge
Raw meat in the fridge
Dairy in the fridge
vegetables, fruit and raw meat in the freezer

And done, no more issues.

Get a blender.  Using cow or non-dairy milk, an overripe banana and a little frozen fruit, there’s a sweet smoothie.

Sautéed carrots are sweet.  Sweet potatoes can be sweet.  Fruit is sweet.

Make your own crackers from flaxseed, whole wheat flour and sunflower seeds.[/quote]
