[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m French. When we visit our families in Paris, we walk a lot more and don’t snack at all hours. The food is also less processed. So we eat less, and better.

Here, we’re running about, grabbing snacks anytime, and it’s harder to avoid crap food.[/quote]

European here - agree with this.  Also, American food (even the "heathy stuff") is so full of salt and sugar it messes with how we eat.

This is dorky but as an American who loves French culture, I read "Bringing Up Bebe" and implemented a lot of the tactics around food in the early years raising my DD -- avoiding idle snacking, serving vegetables first and early in baby's life, etc. It works! She is not a snacker while her friends are constantly whining for snacks.[/quote]

I did similar with my too and ended up with one healthy eater and one very picky eater. Sometimes it isn’t what we do. [/quote]

Same except I have one kid with a weight problem and two skinny kids. Drives me nuts when people credit these kinds of “tricks” with the outcomes. [/quote]

Some of us only have one so I guess we are not allowed to draw conclusions that X caused Y?

Seems kind of oversensitive.[/quote]
