[quote=Anonymous]Unless your child has issues under the care of a physician, moderation is the way to go. We prep healthy meals at home and have a mix of snack foods. My kids, now teens, are fantastic eaters, open-minded whatever the cuisine, non-judgmental, enthusiastic, and adventurous. They are at a healthy weight (slightly on the thin side, both athletes). I am totally convinced it's because we raised them to never, ever "yuck" someone's "yum," we cook a lot at home, and never talked about dieting. We have a lot of fruit as snacks, but also have chips, goldfish, and chocolate. We bake cookies often. We also buy Pringles for roadtrips. I'm confident that they understand and put into practice the difference between staple foods and occasional foods. This is really important, in my mind, as they will be heading off to college soon.[/quote]
