I know in the case of a friend of mine she feels guilt. She is in a bad financial situatation and she tries to eat healthy but her kids complain all the time they want junk food etc. That and the schools give it to them at birthday parties, for good grades etc.

She feels guild because she wants to buy the children new clothes and toys and other things and cant afford it, so to make them happy she buys them sugar coated deep fried candy snacks that they love, but at the same time its hurting these children badly.

I try and tell her that, but she doesnt really want to hear it. I suppose she knows, but has a difficult time saying no to her children and then thinks that they will just go to friends houses or find ways to get it elsewhere.

Its a difficult situation.

Do you eat to live or live to eat? -ducks-
