Hello all. Although I'm not a parent, I'd like to be eventually. I want to know how you would teach your kids to eat healthy besides preparing healthy snacks and lunches/ meals for them. I mean, how to keep them from 1) asking you why jimmy at school gets fruit roll up candies or packaged "LUNCHABLES" 2) spending their allowance on their secret trips to the corner store and 3) picking at the veggies at dinner time? When theyre really young, its easy to just feed them and say "NO" whenever you need to, but as they grow older, what do you do then? I love the thought of having a kid in my future years, but I wouldn't want them to slip into the same road I did as a teen. (eating mountains of doritos, spending all my money at the pizza store on saturday night, pigging out til my stomach hurts...eventually feeling guilty like a slob)
And I'm sorry if I placed this in the wrong section. I just realized it after I posted!
