well, i dont really understand your point liz. although you appear to want to contradict what i am saying, you are actually proving my point: good or bad, parents control their childrens eating habits. thats all i am saying. the way i grew up was one example and the way you group up, another. they were totally different but ended up nearly at the same place!

this quote is contradictory. it shows that you agree with my view that childrens diets (in childhood) are based around what the parents views on diet are.
when i say "control the way your kid eats," i dont mean lock up the cookies and berate him for eating fries. i mean control how they see food in their lives AND control what you pack in their lunch box and cook them for dinner. whats wrong with that??
