[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every day. We always have ice cream in the freezer, we like good chocolate and I love to bake, so there is almost always some home made baked good available. Lifeis too short. We are not athletes, but work out regularly, kids each do a sport EC and we are not obese.[/quote]

exact same here!  I can bake cookies/brownies and it will last a few days.  I have two teen and one tween boy.  They may grab one after school or after dinner.  We always have ice cream around, we love to make sundaes.  Rarely is there not a baked good on our counter, usually homemade but not opposed to a good store bought treat.  We also have a candy bowl full of mini chocolate bars that I replenish maybe every couple of months.  My kids are good about everything in moderation, their dad is the worst with sugar in our house :lol: Point is, not a big deal especially if the kids know they can always grab something if they want.

This is us.  My oldest is 27 and my youngest is 17. No one in our family is even the slightest bit overweight. If anything, they could stand to gain.  We taught moderation and didn't make any foods off limits or scarce. I love to bake and always have homemade treats on the counter. Our cookie jar is always full.  I keep a canister of chocolate full as well.  It was never an issue.

Also, my kids love fruit! But if I tried to suggest fruit as dessert, they would have laughed their asses off. Fruit is wonderful. But it's a part of a healthy meal. Not a dessert. [/quote]
