On another note, while some people are so against it, it's funny how some people are so NOT against it! I had a dck who got treated with a chocolate bar every time she was picked up. Or another one tells me about all the happy meal toys she has. I often wonder why I put so much pressure on myself to serve healthy, wholesome meals when clearly parents don't do the same for their kids when they are at home.
I agree but I would never serve hot dogs as the nitrates are terrible and extremely cancer causing. It's not to say my little one has never had one, but lets say she had 3 or 4 in her 3 1/2 years of existence. Also the sodium in canned food is terrible! We eat as healthy as possible but also kid friendly! We eat chocolate chip cookies on Fridays and occasionally will have popcorn or pretzels (low sodium). Maria cookies from Europe (no hydrogenated oils, very low in fat and additives) and graham crackers. The occasional Rice crispy square or granola bar! And that's it for junk. Any juice I serve is 1 part juice 4 parts water!

Fresh fruit is candy to me!
