[quote=Anonymous]I personally don’t put sugar in the same category of uktr processed foods.  I grew up  with my grandmother living with us and she baked almost every day.  Fresh cookies, pies, cakes or bread.  We were also a big ice cream family.  We definitely ate dessert every day and typically twice a day.  But we are all healthy eaters as adults.  We make our own food and don’t have much taste for processed food.  
Lids are growing a lot and every active.  They will naturally crave sugar and fat because their body is using it.  So long as they are also getting healthy proteins, fruit, veg … I don’t have any problem with also having desserts.  But my preference is always home made stuff — both because it’s fresher, not addictive in the same way. And you eat less of it when you have to put your own labor into making it.  My teen made home made vanilla pudding the other night and it was so delicious.

I just think that if you’re limiting desserts to just special occasions you will end up with a lid that begs Oreos off their neighbor and binge eats it at school. [/quote]
