What will, & won't, you allow your child to eat?

Question

Will you be allowing your child(ren) to eat cookies, sweets, fries, chips, etc. when they are older? Or will you stick with an all organic/healthy food diet?
I've noticed a trend in recent years with the all organic, healthy foods. So I am honestly just curious.

I will not allow hate comments to others in this thread. Just started your opinion and move on. No need to judge others on their opinions. Their child(ren) their concern, notnyours.

My parents let us eat pretty much whatever, as long as we weren't unhealthy about it (overweight), it didn't make us sick, and as long as we ate 3 balanced meals a day. So I will be letting my child(ren) do the same. Let me know your plans, and why.
Thank you!!

Answer

We have a treat cupboard in our house full of all the sweets crisp biscuits and chocolate you could possibly want. We have a policy in our house you can eat as much fruit and vegetables as you like when you like, treats only after a meal. I have found that as my two have access to junk food all the time they don't want it the same as their friends. In fact I can't remember the last time either of them had anything from the cupboard, I might also add they are 11 &14. I am a personal trainer and I believe my good eating habits and attitude to exercise has been passed on. They make their own food choices I cook fresh everyday and they help plan the menu and do the shopping. I will be doing the same with this baby.

Answer

I have 2 teenage boys and they love eating healthy but they also have the occasional treat. 
There is never soda involved with any meals snacks or treats 
Baby will not have  candy for quite sometime. 
We try to eat organic as much as possible and cook at home. 
We love to eat delicious meals outside the home but we strive for balance. 
So for us it will be 80-90% whole organic based foods preferably cooked from home with 10-20% observed in outside food. 
I'm not a big fan of lollipops and hard candies but I also don't want to deprivevto the point it becomes desirable either.

Answer

I plan on giving my child sweets on occasion. Cake on birthdays and such. I don't think kids need candy every single day. Instead of giving our child candy and cookies as a snack, I'd rather offer healthy snacks, like grapes and save the sweets for special occasions. Chicken nugget kids meals with fries are fine to me. Hopefully my husband and I will raise a child who is a lot less picky than both of us. 😂

Answer

I will be trying so hard to keep my kids healthy and eating fresh produce and fresh meats. I definitely want to stay away from processed foods as much as I can. But because I was raised eating just about everything it'll be a hard habit to break! Definitely just trying to do what's best for my babies (within moderation).

Answer

We raise our own beef, poultry and eggs and hunt for venison, pork, poultry and fish. 
As far as veggies and fruits go. We grow some of our own and then I buy whatever is cheapest/freshest.

I do believe in moderation. So my son had his second Halloween and I let him have a few pieces of chocolate and he definitely had a smash cake.

I think biggest key is moderation and that kiddo is getting all their nutrients and calories they need.

Answer

Organic, leaning paleo with a sweets in moderation.

Answer

Everything in moderation. I don't eat fast food so I don't plan on buying fast food for my kids either. I try to eat pretty healthy, but everyonce in awhile a little dessert doesn't hurt. Hopefully the 1st "bad" sugar will be her bday cake
