[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger kid is a restrictive eater with diagnosed autism and sensory issues around food and is quite thin. I’m fine with him getting some extra calories from a bag of mini muffins or Teddy Grahams or whatever. When I was a kid in the 90s, kids were bringing cans of soda to school for lunch and drinking the whole can of Coke or sprite or whatever. Then in the mid-late 90s it switched more to Snapple and iced teas especially with the wealthier kids. Kids have literally always eaten “junk food” and they don’t need to be as restrictive with their diets as a 40 year old mom who works a desk job. [/quote] The 70s is when the amount of processed snack foods really increased and that's when BMIs started going up. So yes, what you're describing in the 90s is true. But it wasn't "always" that way.[/quote]
