MISSINGROSIE said:Gene. I have to do better in the sugar world. You are doing GREAT. The benefits.....unbelievable. Every day more and more learned ...the impact on the gut, inflammation... Well, I am preaching to the choir and I should follow my own advice. You know my grandkids take snacks to school...it is so darn HARD ..they don't want carrot sticks. And whether is sounds mature or not..they want to have a fun thing like the other kids ..and there is something to that. I know that is not what we want as parents ..and we have a responsibility to teach and provide healthy. But is there value in looking forward to snack? Is there value in eating what the other kids are? Being part of that pack of sameness...we HEAR " NO " but I disagree. How many nuts can a kid eat?? Raisins are loaded with sugar. Fruit gets boring. I give 20 ( 100 calories) of tiny marshmallows.. They last a long time..they are fun. I send with a toothpick to stab 'em. And that little rat..rats me out.
" mama....Honey gave me marshmallows " she actually feels guilty ..not about ratting me out but because she knows mama would not approve. So I send strawberry mini wheats ( 12 ) yes sugar..carbs..but whole grain too. I can't win. I found homemade ( at the co-op ) whole wheat rolls with about 10 dark chocolate chips in the entire roll. And I Send with a tablespoon cream cheese. These are really whole grain..an hour later the kid is in the bathroom. so far no ratting..hahahaha
