Loved your article! Such wisdom. Don’t we all know on some level that when we take an extreme position on anything, the opposite side will come bursting forth at some point. I have seen this so often in my work, and not only in relation to the deprivation of junk food in childhood.

Thank god. I have a freind who is on the puritan food track, giving her two year old low fat cheese. Her and her husband roll their eyes saying “she, (their daughter)is always hungry” my guess is the poor little buggar is. Good on you for this very brave peice. Lucky Leo

Fantastic article. Made me smile. I have 2 boys 4yr and 2yr. I have always allowed my boys “junk food” but participated in the guilt society feels I should have. It was my husband who pointed out that what I was convinced was unhealthy amounts of junk food was in reality the equivelant of one biscuit and one lolly a day. So now I relax and we all enjoy (though I admit I dont preclaim it at mothers group).
