in Chit-Chat
So I have a little rant..I'm fine with my husband wanting to eat like crap and not exercise...well...not really, but it's his choice so whatever. What gets me is him always feeding our kids junk and thinking it's okay. I think eating well is important duh.. My son (6) is a biggish boy, is considered obese, at least that's what the paper he brought home from school said, even though his doctor wasn't concerned about it, he's in the 90th percentile, but he's a healthy boy is what I was told. The thing is this morning for a snack he wanted a banana cut up with that powdered chocolate milk mix on top, um what? yeah that's the way his dad made it for him the other day. My husband is always finding new ways to make food not as good for you, and I'm sick of it!

    The 90% doesnt always mean he's obese, it just means that he is heavier than 90% of kids his age..My son is high 90s..for both height and weight..he is not obese by any means, just bigger than other kids.

    A BANANA WITH POWDERED CHOCOLATE ON IT???

    I'm surprised your son didn't keel over from a heart attack. I mean, that is the epitome of unhealthy. DIVORCE!!!! I say.

    would it have been better if he replaced the powdered chocolate for fudge or chocolate frosting or maybe chocolate whey protein?

    Heck, I'd be glad he actually wanted to eat fruit.

    My kid is 90th something percentile in height and weight. The doctor told me once to watch her diet because they didn't want her to weigh so much. I had her pull up her shirt and show him her 6 pack. It's never been brought up again.

    Why not a banana and nutella? Or chocolate flavored applesauce. At least he's eating fruit.

    Now I want a banana and nutella. Or with chocolate powder. Must.go.to.grocery.store.

    Just to flip that on its head - why on earth would you need to put chocolate on a banana? They are sweet enough.


    But then, I am the kind of weirdo who thinks peas re one of the nicest sweet things you can have - but they have to be minutes off the vine though.

    You don't NEED to put chocolate on a banana, but if you would like to experience heaven, I recommend it.
