[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to be the healthy mom after a soccer game I’m trying not to be the mom that sucks and brings sucky snacks. So junk food it is. Cucumbers and my kid would be devastated. [/quote] The thing is, kids are more sedentary than ever. More kids are overweight than ever. If they aren’t now, chances are very high they will be as adults. A huge part of the problem is the culture around junk food. Kids playing a sport and getting exercise is a positive thing, and we shouldn’t be sending the message that junk food is a reward. And frankly, there is no such thing as junk food only once in a while anymore. It’s given out at the door as free breakfast at school, after every sports game, every occasion possible in school for parties and incentives, birthday parties, grandmas house, friends house. Rare is the kid that isn’t being given junk food multiple times per week from various places [/quote]
