Quoted message said:Hey, Laureen, I must have weird kids too! They dislike sweets, would
much prefer to have broccoli or carrots to chocolate. In fact, when
the kids did their annual Easter Egg Hunt this year, my older girl
'sold' her chocolate haul to her dad since she would far rather have
the money to buy books with than chocolate!We were invited to spend an evening with friends the other day. My 11
year old ate as much roast beef as the adults, but declined home-made
apple pie and ice cream because she was full of the main meal. I have
no problem with her eating this way at all, as she is fit and healthy,
at a good weight for her height (80th percentile for weight-for-age,
90th percentile for height) and is very active.Aramanth
My daughter (15 in a few days, tall and thin), from the time she was old
enough to eat, would ask for second helpings of vegetables instead of
dessert. Her favorite breakfast was beans.or peas and carrots. It wasn't
until she was in school, and the room mothers MADE her taste chocolate and
eat cookies and cupcakes at the holiday parties, that she started developing
a sweet tooth. She still doesn't really eat sweets too much though, but
she's definitely a pasta/bread/rice lover. Since I don't buy carby foods,
she eats them at her dad's or buys them for herself.
