[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 year old boy who is sugar obsessed, and would happily eat packaged granola bars from the minute he gets home from school until dinner time and then not want any dinner. So I’m one that also makes rules about snacking and my kids don’t have free reign over the kitchen. On weekends they claim to be hungry an hour after a big breakfast...at school no snacks, so I know their body isn’t trained to eat at hay time. My kids get plenty of food at meals, I have never ever said no to seconds, thirds, etc. they also get snacks after school and on the weekends, I’m not a die hard no snack dictator, but free reign would mean no real food gets eaten, just snacks.

Not sure how to Help the op, but surprised that everyone else has such an open kitchen[/quote]

I thought the same thing when I read this.  I have a 9 year old boy and he certainly doesn’t control all his food intake.

That would mean granola bars all day.  [b]We’re not anti-sugar, but I’m amazed that all you posters have such an open kitchen![/[/b]quote]

I find policing young adult food intake disgusting and controlling.  I don't mean this a mean-spirited way, but I am struggling to capture the words to express how truly offensive I find it.   The idea of overeating sugar does not affect me in remotely a similar way.[/quote]
