[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very lax about what kids eat (I take them fast food a couple times a month, feed them boxed Mac and cheese, etc.) and I still wouldn't give juice that young. I think my kids first juice was a juice box at some kids birthday, probably around age 2.

You can't un-ring the juice bell. Once they know, they KNOw.[/quote]

Ha, this me as well.[/quote]

Seriously, juice or no juice, our kids are much better off diet-wise than we were. I grew up with a mother who wouldn't allow us to eat sugary cereals but we still had fast food as a treat, lots of mac and cheese and remember Hi-C and Hawaiian punch? How many of you had juice boxes in your lunch bags? Capri Sun? Ssips? You could probably make that stuff yourself with a chemistry set! And we're all still here. [/quote]

I actually think we were a lot better off. We might have had some processed foods, but we were much more active. I don't rememeber single kid from elementary school who was overweight. We need to be much more vigilant now about food intake because kids don't burn nearly as many calories. [/quote]
