[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what would happen if my kids packed their own lunches.  My high school son would say he doesn't need lunch and then be a hangry monster later in the day, which would be my problem.  My daughter would pack random things, maybe.  And unlike [i][u]organic homemade mom[/u][/i], we sometimes have crap in our house.  She's in middle school.

[u][i]They'll figure it out in college[/i][/u].  I plan to pack for them until they leave.[/quote]

I only have two kids. So, I did have the energy to do more for them.

Sorry, no junk and crap food in our house.  BUT, my kids were also not the school kids who would eat basic meals.  They needed variety, taste and the homemade organic food needed to taste way better than commercial slop.  If they wanted pizza and fried chicken, burrritos or sushi - I was making it at home.  The taste is a million times better.

I think most kids will not figure out in the college how to eat healthfully and delicious meals.  Cooking meals require a number of steps - planning, shopping, storing, prepping and cooking.  If they are not raised with great tasting homemade meals - they will gravitate towards what they grew up eating.  That is why there is an obesity problem.

Your kid is the one coming over to my house eating all my crap (not in moderation) and making me go out and buy more groceries. My kids have access to both healthy food and some crap food. They eat in moderation. Actually eat the healthy food not in moderation (a whole watermelon in one sitting?!?!) but the crap food is usually in moderation.  And they are all healthy not obese kids - more boarding on too skinny. [/quote]

Sorry, our home is the hangout hub for all kids - mainly because of space and good food.  My kids won't even spit in your direction. As for your crap food - they understand that it is a result of lazy parenting. You do not win prizes if children with worse parents than you hang out at your home. [/quote]
