[quote=Anonymous]I see both sides - I was "that kid" whose mom restricted food to organic, no sugar and had to skip Halloween (and birthday cake, Easter treats, Valentine's candy). As soon as I figured out I was being denied and was mature enough to get around it (about 3rd grade) - I did. I'd trade stickers, small toys, lunch money for for marshmallows and candy at lunch. Tween defiance never tasted so sweet... My mom was not amused but couldn't stop it. If I'd be allowed treats in moderation younger, I would have a much healthier relationship with sugar. (To this day I still can't resist a bag of Swedish fish when I'm stressed). On the other hand, it's her kids. If she wants to control their diet, so be it. My niece and nephew subsist on hot dogs, soda, candy and picking the charms out of lucky charms for breakfast.. It's not the diet I want my daughter on - we do make sure it's more balanced. [/quote]
