personally i dont think kids need sugar or snacks because i was raised
basically no s we ate when my mother put the food on the table .. we did
not have free access to the kitchen or the food . she had to walk to the
store and bought food for meals only and you did not dare touch anything 

not that there were any snack foods as she only carried what she needed 
for
the next days meals ...occasionally my dad took us out on sundays for ice
cream .. we did not have a freezer to keep it at home . so it was an actual
treat he would take the whole family out .. when i was older we moved
farther in the country so my mom had to have a car and she would shop for
the week and have more food around and she could buy half gallons of ice
cream that was when i started snacking and eating in between meals and
gained my weight..i notice when i went to europe where they have tiny
refrigerators also they only shop for the next day so do not have giant
amounts of food around to tempt them they buy just what they plan to eat
the next day..and i also notice when i used to shop at places like sams 
if
i bought a case of pudding etc my kids ate it up in a week just the same 
as
if i had bought a six pack .. so shopping in quantity could be another
problem .. if you feed your kids three healthy meals they should be fine 
...
if we had desserts as kids they were homemade cookies or fruit..

yeah ! i made today.. although it was a little rough tonight. i "slashed"
off 
my day on my calender and felt a sense of accomplishment. my precious little

boy (12y/o) is overweight after a lifetime of modeling my really bad eating 

habits. do you guys encourage your kids to no s ? i think that kids might
need 
snacks, but with an overweight child it is hard to know how much to restrict

food. thanks ! donna o
