Thanks for this post. I know that as a teacher I will never teach my students to label foods even if I am the only one doing it. I wish more people would quit labeling too. Just the other day my 7 year old niece told my son that McDonalds was bad for him while he was happily eating his chicken nuggets.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468891212832471958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522972191109662295.post-84802517333380747542012-07-06T13:59:24.421-06:002012-07-06T13:59:24.421-06:00this is a tough one for me. i teach my kids that ...this is a tough one for me. i teach my kids that there are no bad foods. the only distinction i make between healthy food and junk food is that there is what we call "growing food," and that is really important to make us strong and grow big. so, when C wants to eat candy for dinner, i tell him he can have the candy, but that he has to eat his "growing food" first. so i'm making sure he gets in the healthy stuff, but not taking away any types of foods or labeling them as bad.<br /><br />i don't want him to hear something different from me than what he hears at school. i don't want him to get mixed messages. i grew up thinking there was good food and bad food, and i'm trying so hard to change that for my kids, so it makes me mad that he could hear things at school that i don't feel i have control over.<br /><br />we just need the entire world to read "intuitive eating." (and not throw it against the wall like i did. :)briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495165592860741098noreply@blogger.com
