Wow good one and your absolutly right. I have a son and I do tend to eat garbage foods some nights of the week. Interesting. I think the reason is is because parents want their kids to eat healthy but they also want them to eat something.

I defenatly give in when my little guy dosnt like the meal I prepaired for him so I make him something he does like. or I smother the food that he won't like in cheese and he wolfs it down.

Cheese is the key

I totally agree with the findings. When the boys were younger we would give them treats like crisps, lollies, cookies, processed meats, not so much McD's or KFC (we could not always afford it) but more processed and quick packaged stuff, supplemented by veges and fruits.

My 3 boys are all grown up now and our diet has drastically changed....for the better

Even when any of them join us for a meal we note that their tastes have changed too.

All 5 of us tend to eat more fruits and veges, we do not eat frozen or quick dried meals.

All 4 males are very slim, no body fat but I am 50 and full bodied !!!

Before I had my children I was very slim and worked out a lot but mums tend to pick at their children's food and fall into the grazing trap.
