That is not a bad guide line.

Mine is that if I can not make it in my kitchen it probably should be eaten in very small quantities. :)

I think the funny part of all of this handwringing is that if you are older than 12 it is pretty likely you know what is good for you and what isn’t.

My wife and I have made all of our food from scratch (except bread) since I retired. If I make cookies, you can be satisfied with 2 of them…not like a sleeve of Oreos. She makes tomato sauce and we cook every meal from ingredients.

We have the time, money, and experience to do this. I can understand why my daughter who has two small children, a full time job, and a deployed husband cannot always do this. But even then, her kids snack on fruit not candy.

I don’t know if this is all an intelligence thing or a laziness thing. But I walk behind people in the grocery store and I cannot believe the crap they are buying.
