The real problem lies with the parents and the pre-schools and

schools -- and the way they create early bad eating habits in their
children.

My 19-month old grand-daughter, who is being raised by fitness-oriented
parents and grand-parents, was never fed canned baby food and almost
never
encounters any food with added sugar or salt. Her favorite foods are
grilled or baked sweet potatoes, lean chicken & fish, vegetables,
including
broccoli, green beans and a variety of salad items, and many fruits,
including strawberries and blueberries. She eats the fruits but does
not
drink the juice without the fiber. She's crazy about unsalted pumpkin
seeds.

My son (29 months old) also eats no junk food whatsoever and almost no
sugar. I think that giving kids chidrens' junk food designed to be
addictive to kids, is insane and malicious.


She never even sees "fast" foods, potato chips, salty snacks, sugary
cereal
and the like.

Now that she has stopped nursing, she does drink a little cow
milk, at her parents' house, but also loves the unsweetened soy milk
with
added calcium that she gets at our house.

I am not at all sure what is the benefit of fake soy milk as opposed
to cow milk.


In cow's milk you have all kinds of hormones that are given to the cows and
pass through in the milk. I was reading on another fitness related
newsgroup and the guys were discussing how you can get really huge (hooge I
think is how they put it) by drinking a gallon of whole milk a day not just
from the calories but also from the growth hormones. Soy milk doesn't have
those things in it. I can't drink cow milk or most other dairy products
because they cause too much phlegm production in my sinuses. I don't know
what component in cow milk causes that but it's a severe reaction in me that
I go out of my way to avoid.
