[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 239187, member: 43589"] Sweets are pushed on our children pretty heavily by our media. Watch children's TV shows and see all of the advertisements for candy type products. I certainly agree with you, just don't buy this stuff and keep it out of the house. I watch parents in the grocery store with their small kids and placating them is exactly what is going on. They kids want chips, and candy and are given them in the store and of course a soda to wash it all down. In our school you always have the "candy man" who buy bags of candy and sells it at school so kids have access to this stuff all the time. Candy, chips and soda and the lack of physical exercise is what is causing obesity and type II diabetes in such young children. As others menntion, a balance meal should be given to children. They need to be able to try a variety of food so they can discover what they like. Meats should never be left out and diets should never be used, especially if the parent is useing it. The [URL='https://foodstruct.com/glycemic-index-chart']glycemic index[/URL] is a very handy tool to use in meal preparation. As I preach in nutrition classes, keep the high GI food sources to less that 10% of your total carbohydrate intake. Encourage low GI foods as a substitute. I would be very careful forcing a kid to eat food they don't like. If they just don't like it try something else next time. Or change the way it is prepared. I always mention McDonals in my lectures about food choices. I thnk it should be limited because McDonals and most fast food places are very high in high GI foods, the bun, the fries, the soda....all high GI (monosaccharides and disaccharides), in a very large supply. However, once in a while is not going to kill you. [ATTACH type="full"]26910[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
