Not true. As someone who has battled food addiction my entire life (I remember this sense of urgency and shame around food as young 3 or 4), It is actually good for kids to experience hunger. The problem with american kids is the constant snacking, followed by large portions etc. So even if you only provide "healthy meals" at some point they will be out at a friends house, on their own, and they will not understand their own body signals.  Most kids are overweight because they eat for dopamine like effect, boredom and honestly have no idea how to read/listen to their own body signals.   OP does not have an eating disorder, [b]kids are not gonna starve if they don't get three snacks at a 1 hour soccer game[/b].[/quote]

Nobody is saying that they will.[/quote]

Actually a previous poster stated that "its abuse to starve your kid"--clearly parents think the kids will fail to function if they don't eat every waking hour. [/quote]

Never said they will "fail to function."  Said they would fail to develop properly...big difference.  [/quote]

How is a kid who is growing well being starved? Do you understand what starvation is? A home that serves modest portions is not starving anyone. [/quote]
