[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not like fanatic health nuts, just normal healthy maybe active joggers and kids might be student-athletes families. Also, do these sort of "normal healthy" families stock any sweets in the fridge/pantry? If yes, what sort?[/quote]

I grew up with parents who never ever stocked sweets in the house and we maybe had dessert 2xs a month. As a result none of us kids has a sweet tooth. We can all even detect sugar in foods that are supposed to be savory. With that said, I also dont bring sweets into the house (mainly because I dont have a taste for them and I'm the shopper) we probably have dessert 1x a week. Since this really has never been a part of our daily lives, my kids dont have many preferences. They like berries and whipped cream and Halo ice cream. They also oddly like orange flavored dark chocolate. [/quote]

I'm sorry but feeding your young kids Halo ice cream is disordered. That crap has a bunch of chemicals to make it "low calorie" regular full fat ice cream would actually be healthier. I don't understand people like you who think food laden with chemicals is better than actual real food just because of the calorie count.[/quote]

I've never looked on the back of the halo at the ingredients, except when I accidentally picked up the vegan one and my kids hitched, so I have no idea what you are yammering on about. We just like the flavors and size, so that everyone get their own. Whatever is in it, I'm sure my kids will survive the chemical onslaught 2xs a month. No need for you to stress out over our health [/quote]

I don’t know if Halo has fake sugars in it, because I got it once and didn’t like the taste. I think it does have emulsifiers to help the mouth feel and it is whipped full of air. Hagen Faaz is 2x as heave for the same volume. I don’t care about emulsifiers and air, but I do avoid giving my kids fake sugar including Stevia because it trains their palate to like things sweeter that nature. [/quote]

I think the halo poster will be just fine. Shes eating is 2xs a month. I think the sugar fiends will be the kids eating dessert daily.[/quote]

I know you dont want to believe this but its actually the opposite. Those who eat dessert daily learn moderation. You also probably don't want to believe this, but in my home with three teenage boys most days they don't have dessert at all although the option is always available to them and always has been. Food Nazis end up raising kids with food issues.[/quote]
