[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up, mom almost always did the grocery run solo. She simply did not buy any snack foods or soda from the grocery. Skipped that entire aisle. I had never known about Goldfish crackers until 7th grade when I thought other students were talking about eating tiny fish. She would buy cooked peanuts and mixed nuts and bananas and oranges and apples.

Sometimes, not always, she would buy 100% apple juice or 100% cranberry juice (i.e., not juice cocktail). If we were having a party, she might buy some Tostitos, but that was rare.

So it was "normal" that our after school snacks were sliced carrots, sliced celery, peanuts, and fruit juice.  Dinners were not fancy, but mostly home cooked. Summer lunches varied and might include ledt overs, mac&cheese, hot dogs, turkey sandwiches, or similar. [/quote]

According to DCUM you should have been destined to be an overweight/yo-yo dieter junk food binge eater because your mother “restricted” your access to junk food. [/quote]
