Just Enough Junk Food
Q: Is it okay to keep some junk food in the house?
A: Yes -- but just a small amount. A recent study found that 5-year-olds who were subject to the strictest rules about how much and how often they could eat junk food were the most likely to overindulge when left alone in a test situation, even when they weren't hungry. Worse, they felt bad about what they ate, even if they only nibbled at it.
