Thank you Deir. This is fantastic. I shared it with some of my mom friends (in particular the ones that have been even mildly curious about my policy regarding sugar) Very cool. Here is the link abbreviated:

Just like the writer, I let
Just like the writer, I let my kids get cotton candy this summer on our annual favorite trip to an amusement park. They were all pretty grossed out after a few handfuls!
In general, it is so tough for me to be calm in the face of diet with kids. Easy when they are young, harder the older they get.
I too try to stay calm. But
I too try to stay calm. But the opportunities are ENDLESS! My older daughter does NOT have a sweet tooth an often chooses a savory thing when there is a choice. Sometimes I bring an agave treat to Church Coffee hour, but often now they skip the sweets table or eat fruit there! But it is EVERYWHERE. ALL. The. time. And my "healthy" affluent friends are the worst. What I have noticed is that people think if you are thin and your kids are thin, then how much sugar you eat is not an issue. The other thing I see at the local market, is the mom eating a salad and letting her kids buy Icees. Really? You won't put that crap in your body, but it is a "treat" for your kids? Total cognative dissonance.
