[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why it's a problem that your kids eat lunch meat, strawberries, crackers, or even leftover lasagna.  Isn't this food meant for them?  We buy strawberries for our family to eat.  Same with crackers. Crackers?? If they were raiding the caviar or the freezer for grandma's home made mandel bread, okay, I could see that you would be upset, but they are eating everyday FOOD that you buy for the family.  This seems like a control issue, totally.  "I only want you to do and eat what I tell you to do."  Why can't they eat these foods if they want to?  You say one child has a weight problem, but strawberries are not going to make someone overweight.  And Weight Watchers allows unlimited servings of fruit -- you can eat as much as you want, every single day.  Same with lean meat.  I just don't understand your attitude.[/quote]

Completely agree. And now I am craving mandel bread.[/quote]

I think OPs point was they were eating the entire box of crackers and entire pint of strawberries, in one serving.  That isn't normal snacking, that is compulsive eating and I would be concerned too[/quote]

A pint of strawberries between two kids is not much... How big is the box of crackers?

If they are deliberately eating what OP designated as off limits, it sounds like rebellion to me.[/quote]
