I can't tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me or just ruminating on kids and food. :)

I don't think our culture has as many "bad food habits" as some people want us to think we have. I mostly think there's a moral panic about food and anything that makes food taste good (sugar, fat, salt) is unfairly demonized. Sure, we could all use some additional fruits and veggies in our diets and less processed food, but the hysteria has to stop. If our diets are so crappy, why are we healthier than ever before (statistically speaking)?
