I just let my kids eat until they aren't hungry.

Sometimes they don't want to eat, I never fore them to finish.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Same here.

If they are hungry, they will eat.
If they are not hungry, they won't.

Child obesity wasn't created by fatty foods. It was created by the "clean your plate" generation not adapting to larger portions.

It's really funny, one of my kids has been at 75% height/weight since birth. The other one has been at 50% height/25% weight. The "smaller" one can out eat the larger one three times over.

I don't expect that I'll have to worry about how much they are eating until they hit puberty.

As far as I can tell mine is never full. Sometimes he gets tired of eating and takes a break, but 10 minutes later he'll say he's hungry.

I dont think growth spurts have anything to do with it, she always eats like shes starving.

I ate ALOT as a child. but I was also very active.

what stopped the hunger cravings for me was having a big glass of milk before and after meals.

I still do it to this day.

and it is satisfying and keeps me at a happy medium of the 'full feeling' but not overboard where i feel gluttonous.


and its a big money saver. I go through 4L of milk a week. and ~10 gallons of water a month.

and ill wait for sales for juices of my choice.

I like my fluids
