My kid loves tofu........but she does prefer milk to water....actually she prefers ANYTHING to plain water.
I get 2 very different attitudes regarding what my child eats. One is the "why do you let her eat so much junk food?" and the other is "Doesn't this child ever eat junk food?"
My daughter is not a picky eater and will eat just about anything you put infront of her.......how many 7 year olds does anyone know that will more often grab a bag of carrots out of the fridge instead of a brownie for an after school snack? She wanted orange juice with breakfast thi morning, but we were out, but we had oranges and so she squeezed her own juice :)
If she wants junk food, she can have it, is my attitude because she so rarely does.
I'm convinced that as long as they eat at the family table and get outside as much as possible, kids will be healthy and happy.
I have one child that eats nothing but junk, but he thinks since he devours the box of Little Debbies with milk he's fine. One child doesn't care for junk food at all. Would rather eat fruit or will grill himself chicken (on a George Forman grill) for an after school snack. The third is more balanced,although he likes anything with Sponge Bob. We go through 2 dozen eggs a week and they drink whole milk. All three are very healthy, no allergies, asthma or obesity. They prefer to be outside and active. In fact my 9 yr old will not go to some friends houses because they like to play video games and he thinks they're boring.
