Let The Kids Eat Their Oreos

Of course, children should be fed nutritious food, but I think we need to be extremely careful to avoid teaching them that foods are “good” and “bad”. The occasional Oreo, right along with carrots, fresh greens, oatmeal, and ice cream, can be a part of a balanced diet.
