I find that these days a lot of kids will literally eat until you stop feeding them. I think it is a sign of our culture and how over the top we have become with food. We eat alllll the time when we are not hungry....stops through Timmie's, a snack every freaking time a kid gets in the car to occupy them, popcorn at the movies etc etc etc. I don't think most people, kids included even KNOW what it is to feel full anymore.

I serve one good-sized portion of everything I am serving for each snack and lunch and that's IT. I don't offer seconds. Seriously, the amounts I give them are probably 3/4 the size of what I would eat so I think that is plenty for someone who is over a hundred pounds less than I am.
