Is junk food ok in very small amounts?
Some people think not, some people think its wrong to tempt children
with snacks and food which is very bad for them.
You have to decide for yourself whether you and your children eat
junk food.
Should you use junk food as a reward for good behaviour? Perhaps
not, if it reinforces it as a treat. Non food rewards like a credit
system, stickers or activities are much better treats.
Why is junk food so bad for you?
Its normally really delicious - which some people might say is
part of its charm, but it uses high fat, salt and sugar content
to make it taste so nice.
Define junk food - food that has little or no nutiritional value.
The opposite of balance and healthy foods. Often high in calories.
If junk food wasn't delicious we wouldn't want to eat it, and as
such it wouldn't be a problem.
But it tastes nice and you always want more.
