[quote=Anonymous]This is tough for me as a MB.  I do think you have a right to eat whatever you want, but I wouldn't want you eating hot Cheetos or lunchables in front of my child either, because at 3-4, the kids are still learning by example, so you can say "Cheetos are bad for you" to the kids but it won't have any effect if they see you eating them regularly.  I guess if it were me, I'd try to work with you on some healthy and acceptable alternatives to what you normally eat, and agree to provide those for you if they were costly and different from what your grocery budget allows.  I don't know if that would solve the problem though, since I don't see you suddenly loving seaweed strips, and there are not really easy healthy replacements for what you regularly eat.  Do you think there are healthy foods that MB could buy that you would want?

I'll admit though, I'd probably think maybe we were not the best fit if I were dealing with this and there was no happy compromise.  In this day and age, food choices are such a hot topic and important issue for parents that if we were not reasonably aligned on what to model for the kids, I might seek a better fit.  [/quote]
