What should I do if my child likes to eat "junk food"?

When it comes to junk food, almost everyone knows its dangers. It is high in fat and calories and can easily lead to obesity. However, because of its convenience and deliciousness, many people still enjoy it even though they know it is unhealthy. Recently, Americans who invented fast food and popularized it all over the world first mustered up the courage to say no to "junk food". The Connecticut State Assembly has passed a resolution banning the sale of high-calorie carbonated drinks and French fries to students in primary and secondary schools across the state. Ten types of junk food. Next, every state in the United States is likely to follow suit. Does your child like to eat "junk food"? How do you keep kids away from unhealthy foods? It took two years to “quit” puffed food Mr. Xu, a 38-year-old company employee What he hates most now are those children’s food advertisements. Ice cream, donuts, French fries and potato chips are all nutritious. However, in the advertisement, two celebrities or two children are found jumping up and down, sometimes going to space and sometimes exploring treasures. Children’s curiosity and The sense of novelty has been lifted up, and I have to shout to buy it. If you don't buy it, other students in the school will share it with him generously, and there will be no blocking. My son is the kind of person who is poisoned by advertising and likes to eat puffed food. Once when he went to the supermarket with his grandma, he piled up a whole cart of puffed food and brought it back full of three-vest bags. As a result, he stayed on the sofa watching TV in the afternoon and ate most of the food alone. By dinner time, he couldn't eat anything. Originally, this puffed food was not a healthy food, and my wife and I did not advocate that our son eat more of it. Now that he is eating it and it affects his regular meals, we want to put it on the blacklist. Since my son has been fond of puffed food for a long time, a short-term suppression policy will definitely not convince him. Therefore, my wife and I adopt a half-reasoning and half-coaxing method with our son to gradually help him eliminate his preference for puffed food. We told him that eating puffed food is unhealthy. This kind of junk food will seriously affect the physical and intellectual development of children. If he eats too much, he will become stupid. The son was afraid that he would become a stupid kid, but he later showed a certain sense of self-restraint when faced with puffed food. Coupled with his mother and I supervising and controlling the purchase volume, puffed food has been basically eliminated after two years. Now, when my son sees advertisements for new puffed foods on TV, he is still inevitably tempted. I think it’s okay to buy them for him to try, but once he’s tasted them, he can’t touch them again. Stay away from junk food and work together as a family Mr. Zhu, 35 years old company employee Our whole family likes junk food. Maybe it was inherited from me. My daughter has been chubby since she was born, and she also loves sweets, especially all kinds of chocolates. She eats more than a truckload of the ones she buys as gifts. My wife also loves snacks. The old people said that there were three big rats in their house. Originally, these did not attract our full attention. We would eat whatever the child liked. But once, during a physical examination in kindergarten, the teacher said that the child's weight was overweight and there were cavities in the deciduous teeth, so the child must be allowed to eat less sweets. We thought that this must be the fault of chocolate, but as soon as we asked her to eat less chocolate, she said seriously: "Grandpa and grandpa said that you also like to eat snacks like me, like big mice. Why can you eat it but I can’t?” This statement left us speechless. In order to get our daughter to eat less chocolate, we had to set an example and promised to work with her to get rid of the habit of eating snacks. We agreed that snacks can only be placed in a conspicuous place on the dining table. A period of time after dinner is designated as snack time. Snacks are not allowed at other times. We must supervise each other. My daughter immediately went to search out the snacks in her mother’s bag and handed them over to the father. At the same time, she confiscated my candy box and handed over her own chocolates. After a period of time, my daughter's original uncontrolled eating of chocolate was finally under control, but when she went to play at other people's houses, she still grabbed the chocolate and wouldn't let go. We feel that we should not demand too much from her. After all, a change in habit should be done slowly. Homemade hamburgers satisfy my son Ruoyun, a 38-year-old company employee. My son is twelve years old and is at the age when his body is growing. Although we have prepared a lot of food for him, his favorite is hamburgers.

He would tell me with a painful look on his face while eating that he was so full that he could almost see the rice in his throat when he opened his mouth, but when he turned around, he could eat two of the hamburgers bought by his grandma in one go, and he was done. He also wiped his mouth with unfinished thoughts. That day I watched a TV show and learned how to cook Western food. A hamburger is just two slices of bread with something sandwiched between it. You can choose whatever you want. I had an idea and replaced fried food with nutritious food. Wouldn't it become healthy food? I immediately went to the supermarket to buy hamburger embryos, and then called my grandparents and son to make burgers by myself. This time, we made a new twist. I made my son’s favorite poached eggs, grandpa’s favorite fish-flavored shredded pork, and grandma’s favorite braised fish fillet. I also prepared some fresh lettuce and cherry tomatoes, and a bottle of Salad dressing and all the ingredients were ready, and our family rolled up our sleeves and started making burgers. My son quickly made his first creation. Before we announced the meal, he started eating it happily. While eating, he said that the "local burger" he made tasted really good, but he couldn't buy it. Woolen cloth. Grandma was also very happy and kept praising me for my good idea. It felt like I was making a new type of "foreign steamed buns". Now, when the child wants to eat a hamburger, the grandmother will prepare "foreign steamed buns", and the son is far less enthusiastic about the hamburgers sold in the market than before. It doesn’t matter if you eat less □Mr. Yin, 35 years old IT engineer These days, which child has never eaten junk food? I think it is acceptable to try it occasionally. There is a fast food restaurant right in front of my house. All the children around me who are the same age as my daughter have been there. In order to prevent my daughter from becoming a "backward element", I also ordered a children's set meal for my daughter that day. My daughter took two bites of French fries, but her mind seemed not to be on the food. She kept staring at the children laughing and playing in the children's playground next to her. After eating two more bites, she finally couldn't sit still anymore and couldn't wait to join the children, climbing the slide and riding the pony, having a great time. Later, I took my daughter to eat in a fast food restaurant several times, and each time she showed greater interest in the children's entertainment facilities next to it. Children aged five or six are the time when they love to play and need to play. There are no parks or children's playgrounds nearby, so the children's paradise in this fast food restaurant has become a small playground for nearby children. Anyway, it’s not expensive to come in and order one or two things, so I take my daughter there every weekend. My daughter met many nearby children there, and everyone played together. She seemed to be happier than before. I read in the newspaper that French fries, Coke, and burgers are high-calorie junk foods that will affect the healthy development of children. I think I just want to listen to these words. Anyway, my daughter doesn’t like to eat junk food now, so I have nothing to worry about. Even if she likes to eat it in the future, I don’t think there is any need to be nervous. Fried and pickled things are actually unhealthy, but no one can include them in their diet. Completely avoided. I just give her a certain amount of control.
