I hadn't read this post before I responded, but I have to heartily agree with EVERYTHING she's said. I can't imagine not eating potato chips or drinking wine for the rest of my life, so I still enjoy these things in moderation and I hope that my kids will pick up on it too. So when I allow them to have some doritoes or chips, I give them a handful in a bowl; they're getting a treat, but it's a healthy serving size, not an entire bag. This is something I have to work on for myself, as well.
