[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you anti snack people have a very unhealthy attitude about food.

I also suspect that it has been a very, very long time since you have spent an hour or more intensely exercising or running around and since it has been so long you can't remember how hungry an hour of intense exercise can make you (plus at least 30 minutes or more of warm up exercise).

An hour soccer game burns around 600 calories. Your kid could wolf down a Chick fil a milkshake after every game and still burn more calories than she takes in, so some goldfish or even, gasp, a 130 calorie neon pink cupcake won't do any harm after playing soccer.

You folks have serious food issues.[/quote]

Well I don't want my kid to have Chik Fil A milkshakes or a  pink cupcakes after soccer.  They are for special occasions.  There is already enough junk in their lives.  Let's not make sports just another place to eat, eat, and eat.

And I find it ironic since childhood obesity is soaring that you justify that kids can "wolf" anything down and be a-okay.  Most if not all kids, do not play the entire hour and I have been to plenty of warm-ups and they are not intense workouts.  These kids do not have to have food immediately after a game, ever.  And the snack pushing moms are making it seem that way.  You are like Italian moms who force their kids to eat and eat and eat, it's healthy!!!  Finish your plate!!!   :roll: [/quote]
