Anyone for whom - modelling healthy eating choices is a part of every day life (and prefereably started when the kid was born rather than adopted later. An ounce of prevention...) - parents don't allow them to eat crap on a regular basis any more than they allow them to stick knives in their eyes.

In other words, the ones that are already eating this way, and who never ate the other way... So what? It's easy as hell to not drink Coca-Cola, if you have never had it. However, in the real world, where kids already eat the junk food, what then? Give a chicken nugget eating child some grilled chicken breast strips, he or she will ask what the white stuff is (the chicken) and refuse to eat it. Pointing to healthy alternatives the child will REFUSE to eat does no one any good! How about some alternatives that they might actually give a try? |

In other words, the ones that are already eating this way, and who never ate the other way... So what? It's easy as hell to not drink Coca-Cola, if you have never had it. It is easier. But it is not the end of the world for a child to change either. However, in the real world, where kids already eat the junk food, what then? Give a chicken nugget eating child some grilled chicken breast strips, he or she will ask what the white stuff is (the chicken) and refuse to eat it. And thene what? Proceed to starve to death on thee spot? Assuming that you speak to your child anywa, you explain about healthy eating habits and learning new ways. You call upon the health classes that they have received in school (assuming that they dont think the teacher is a dork) or whatever. Then you do it. There was a generation of kids who started out not wearing bicycle helmets. They had to adjust. BFD. A human animal, in the absence of one food, will eat anotherl. Only if you pitch a battle or have other issues of weirdness going on in your family, they won't starve themselves. **** is hard. But it is better to do the hard thing of transforming eating habits (particularly when it is relatively easy as a young person) than have to deal with the conseuqences of a lifetime bad eating habits. Pointing to healthy alternatives the child will REFUSE to eat does no one any good! How about some alternatives that they might actually give a try? for how long is a child going to starve himself? I have no objection to alternatives that will be tried. I saw nothing particularly interesting or disinteresting about the alternatives provided. But the tendency I see for parents to throw up their hands and say ... they won't eat! is a bunch of crap and nonsense. Most people eat some huge amount more than they need anyway. |

ROTFLMAO! Oh ****, you mean you are being serious? *shaking head* There have been studies that show that forcing a child to eat healthy food only re-enforces the idea that the food isn't good to begin with. Giving the child the choice of eating good food or not eat, many will pick to not eat or eat very little. However, what that does is make them associate healthy food with punishment. |

ROTFLMAO! I have one. If you don't treat your child like a moron, it is amazing what results you get. My five year old can make the right food choices. She is not a moron. She is not treated like a moron. Oh ****, you mean you are being serious? *shaking head* What is scarier still is that you think your child is so weak and pathetic that he or she cannot manage something as simple and brainless as garbage in, garbage out. There have been studies that show that forcing a child to eat healthy food only re-enforces the idea that the food isn't good to begin with. Did I say anything at all about forcing any eating? I did not. Please read for understanding. Giving the child the choice of eating good food or not eat, many will pick to not eat or eat very little. That's LOVELY! The child can make a *choice* abot eating based on whether or not they are hungry rather than wehether or not they can soothe their woes or whatever in a bucket of ice cream. Why do we think, in this society, that on the one hand one ought to eat healthily and on the other hand that if the child does not eat very much theere is something wrong? Every animal will not choose to starve. However, what that does is make them associate healthy food with punishment. Not unless the parent views it as punishment. |
