If you don't offer junk food as a choice, a child has not got the choice to eat junk. My 16 month old lad loves fresh fruit and veg. He wouldn't know what a Happy Meal is because I have never taken him to McDonalds - even I don't eat there. Its not a treat for kids really when you look at the amount of fat and the unhygenic way things are cooked there.
I intend to start early on encouraging him to eat healthily as I don't want to have him turn six and be dragging him off to weight watchers. He has treats in the form of chocolate etc but they are in moderation. I see kids that expect a bar of chocolate bought for them every time they leave the house and its disgusting.
