Oh boy ...now aint that the pot calling the kettle black?  Perhaps you should take a spoonful of that advice.
A. Don't call people names, if you have an opinion, you can do it without that.
B. I do believe she is THE mother and can do just exactly what she pleases with her own kids with the exception of abuse. And clearly, making a healthy diet change for your family is not abuse. I'd love to see the social worker that comes to my house and says "You have abused your child. He is whining because he wants a pudding cup, yet YOU have the nerve to serve him sugar free pudding!"
I am a parent and I make decisions that benefit myself as well as my children. So I will explain the trinkle down effect. I shop differently now. My kids are not on Atkins. However, since I'm not eating junk food anymore, I buy less of it and some s/f items as alternatives for them. Its not because if its in my cabniet I'll be tempted, but because I see more clearly how harmful it is.
