Ohh!! I've been watching a few of his videos on youtube and love them!
Personally, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I never usually feel the need to have a sweet "treat". For me, my "treat" is eating whatever I want, since 70% of the time what I do want to eat are usually foods that are actually nourishing for me anyway, so I rarely feel guilty with my choices nowadays. And as I continue to educate myself on what's best for my body, my food choices will hopefully just get cleaner and cleaner as well.
For my kids, I feel that unless we are living in a remote farm or something, it is almost impossible to keep them away from sweets and processed foods, without feeling like I am being the most controlling mother ever. Especially when they're with friends who all have different eating habits. I feel the best thing I can do is educate them on what nourishes their body and what doesn't. I want them to learn to self regulate instead of me dictating everything they eat, which isn't sustainable anyway in my opinion.
Great topic of discussion! Looking forward to chatting more next Sat :)
A very important point and, although I don't have kids, I think education about food and what nourishes you is KEY. Especially at a young age. Thanks for your input, @redrica! See you on Saturday!
