I know I swore off the big hunks of sour dough bread that I love because I can no longer handle the sodium.
Sounds like the author has an unhealthy relationship to food.
Pop tarts! Who would serve their kids that crap? Make healthy waffles, pan cakes or muffins on weekends, freeze them and stick them in the toaster or oven on Monday morning.
My kids liked milk and they drank it with everything. I got asked more than one time at the grocery store check out line if I was running a day care center because I would buy at least 8 gallons per week.
I had to buy an extra refrigerator just for drinks.
I have discovered why diabetics lose weight.
YOU CAN’T EAT ANYTHING.
I think this may be a clue to the current "obesity epidemic."
When I was a kid, my mother discovered "healthy eating" and started subscribing to Prevention magazine, reading a lot of (dubious) books about "healthy eating," buying "organic," etc. We went from a typical American diet (for the time) to eating a "healthy" diet, never allowed to have anything with processed sugar in it. As a result, whenever I had the chance, I wanted sweets. My weight has been an issue my entire life. I can't help but think that the factors that made weight such an issue for me are an issue for a lot of people. The strict "healthy eating" forced on kids may be a reason for such high rates of obesity.
Having identified too much restrictive "healthy eating" as a factor in my own weight struggles, I decided that I would not put any restrictions on my son. Basically, I tried to teach him what is healthy and not, and that a balanced diet is the goal. I did not tell him he could not eat particular foods. I only required that he taste something before rejecting it. The result is that as an adult, he really does only eat when he is hungry, and stops when he is full. He weighs 120 pounds at 5'9.
Another case for parents ensuring their children eat sweets in moderation.
It is not hard. Or you can buy the fancy ones that are all natural (although everything is natural. Otherwise it would not exist).
People are starting to regard diet as "God" and themselves as "good" or "bad" depending on what they eat or don't eat.
You want something unhealthy? THAT attitude is unhealthy.
stupid author, just sub out unhealthy stuff for healthier options. So easy to make healthy ice cream substitutes and they have that fizzy water machine to sub out soda if some one really feels the need for carbonated.
What happened to my puffed rice? It’s GONE! Wonder why.
I can remember my son asking for cocoa puffs or something similar for cereal...my rule was...those are SNACKS...NOT cereals. And, at Halloween when he was about 9, he had a huge load of candy, I reminded him....”you gotta be healthy to play soccer” (he loved soccer), “so take it easy on the candy”...and, amazingly, he did. He seemed to get the message. He’s 47 now and in good shape. And, his son, my grandson, seems to be a healthnut!
My kids eat candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, etc. They also eat home cooked meals and lots of fruit. I think too many people buy into the media propaganda about “healthy eating” and are scared to eat fat or sugar. It’s crazy.
