[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those listing foods they "don't allow," are your children very young?? I cannot imagine forbidding foods, though there is plenty of stuff we ate growing up that I don't buy--bologna being one of them because the idea of it grosses me out. But one of my kids came home and said, "I tried Jimmy's bologna sandwich at lunch, can you buy some bologna?" then I would. [/quote]

It's not so much ban/forbid in the house as it is I don't purchase them.

I think the Starbucks frappuccinos are disgusting sugar bombs. I rarely buy them for my DD when we stop at Starbucks together. However, does she drink them? Yeah, at least 3 times a week when out with friends. She uses her own money to buy them and that's fine with me. It's not something I'm going to provide.

If my kid wanted to try bologna, I'd buy some, sure. It's not something I'm going to provide regularly, though, just like how I don't provide hot dogs and other lunchmeats with nitrates.

Outright banning food is bad practice, IMO. My SIL is what you would call an "almond mom" and has strict food rules for her kids. My nephew, since turning 16 and getting his first job, has packed on at least 35 pounds or more from eating out with his own money now. His behavior is borderline binge eating if not outright binge eating. [/quote]
