[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the parents who say "my kids don't eat that".

I was raised in a home where I never ate sugar or drank soda, my mom used to brag the same way about how great my eating habits were. How healthy I was from all the "nature" food I ate (damn hippies) [/quote]

Sounds like my family. No sugar in the house PERIOD. Milk or water. No sugar cereals. No snack between meals unless it was fruit or veggies. Cod liver oil, protien shakes with wheat germ, etc. We also had gourmet meals for dinner. I'd complain b/c we never had hotdogs, sloppy Joes, or pasta with red sause. Yes, I ate everything I was given at meals because it was all I knew and the alternative was starving, but when I became a teenager I quickly realized how "good" my friends had it. In college dorms I went crazy exploring all the food I'd been denied my whole life. (Capt'n Crunch, Tater Tots, etc.).  I eventually got back on track food wise, but it wasn't easy. My brother has an eating disorder (obese) which he's had since living home.

I'm confident those food nazis will regret their decisions a decade or two from now. In my house now we eat healthy, but I think it's important to allow the infrequent exception. There's no harm, and we're avoiding what might turn out to be an explosive backlash down the road.[/quote]
