[quote=Anonymous]I see both sides of this.

Ultimately I'd start looking for a new job because I think that is Where you are headed whether your choice or hers. Next time, let the family know in advance what lunches/snacks are common for you so they can decide if its an issue.

I have terrible eating habits at home, but at work I try to eat my healthy stuff (fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt, nuts, etc) instead of my cookies/cupcakes/chips/soda. But then I feel just as strongly about children eating healthy because food habits are formed early. It just happens I was raised in an unhealthy food environment and still struggle with the effects of that. But knowing that- it makes me even more concerned that the kids I care for see me eating mostly healthy foods with the occasional treat/ junk. I would do the same for my own children. The plus side is that as a result of doing this- the families I've worked with have exposed me to new healthy foods I've found I liked, and having to find enough healthy foods I like for when I'm at work has helped improve my eating habits and health at home as well.
