[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No limit on fruit. Usually it is good and all gone immediately or it isn’t and just sits there and eventually gets tossed.[/quote]

The only problem is if you bought the fruit for the family.

It's not about controlling calories or sugar or anything like that.  It's learning to share/think of others.

In our family, if you want something then help yourself. When it runs out, you just wait a few days until stock gets replenished. We don’t have any hoarders, but we also don’t have anyone who gets upset when things run out. [/quote]

I guess.

But if I bought a bin of strawberries on Monday.  I would expect them to be there for my yogurt on Tuesday morning.  I wouldn't just  wait the next grocery run.  I would ask who the heck ate all the strawberries, and are they not aware that other people in the house.  The concept of "other people" needs to be taught[/quote]

This. I guess I am thankful I've not needed to explain this about regular foods. Its just not been an issue. We do impose limits on dessert foods, sugary drinks and empty calorie snacks (aka Goldfish.)[/quote]
