I do my best to keep Alex eating healthy, and some people have asked why I deprive him of the "junk". My answer has always been, he just doesn't need it. I will give him cake on birthdays and that kind of thing, but as far as an everyday snack we stick to a banana or bell pepper, something along those lines. My point is that the reason that I try to stay away from "junk" foods is simple because I want Alex to develop a taste for things that are good for him. It seems to work, because his light up every time I ask him if he wants an apple!!! I don't think that people realize how much naturally sweet is in fruits. The point that I am trying to make is that don't get discouraged by people telling you that you are mean for making your child eat healthy. Your baby will thank you one day!!
