Kids do not need their own food pyramid,

I partly disagree as I have seen parents putting kids on a low fat diet to keep them from getting fat and not realize that kids need some fat. They are after all, growing and developing.

A diet that is ok for an adult may not be adequate for a child.

The abandonment of family meals is key to the dissolution of the American family.

Now that we agree on.

I agree. When my daughter was born a nutritionist came to my room to give me the low-down on childhood nutrition. Long story short, she told me that kids need quite a bit of fat until they're 12-14 years old for brain development. I've read quite a few articles over the years that backed that up.
