[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None, and if I have it my way, they never will. I don't care what their friends are drinking. Mine have never complained about not having had pop. They know it's unhealthy, and not something anyone their age should be having. [/quote]

Do they also feel the same way about cookies or ice cream?  What does age have to do with it?  Yes it is way too much sugar but the same can be said about other treats.[/quote]

Well, the 9yo is researching nutrition as part of her health for homeschooling this year.  She has requested a switch to coconut and almond flour for cookies (to decrease the carbohydrates, because she’s not willing to get rid of sugar), and we’re now making our own popsicles from Greek yogurt and fruit, instead of buying ice cream.  She also wants to increase nuts, beans and fish, cut out all red meat and decrease poultry.

I’m completely fine with all of the above.  Kindergarten isn’t, but I’m also fine with a 9yo making healthier decisions for herself.[/quote]
