Jeez, in our house SWMBO gets all concerned if inchling goes on a raisin binge.

He's had exactly one tootsie pop in his life, and one other random lollypop.

maybe had about a pint of ice cream in his life. He is a fruitbat however, and will eat a lot of fruit, but then suddenly goes off it and gets on a chicken or beef jag.

We don't really have junk in the house, occasionally we'll have midel ginger snaps and he'll want to freebase them. We usually tell him he has to wait until the "big hand" reaches the "king fisher" before he can have more.

99% of the time he is onto the next thing and isn't really hungry.

We had read that eating habits are formed very early so we exposed the inch to as many types of foods as we could early on. (Obviously leaving out the things he shouldn't have had as an infant like tuna, honey strawberries, etc)

Coming form the opposite direction, we just didn't include in his food universe thngs that we felt were not going to be best for him.

I've seen parents give their 35 pound kids entire ice cream cones. Do the math: if you weigh 175 pounds it is the equivalent of you eating 5 ice cream cones. That just ain't right.

What the f am I talking about?
