***we got rid of junk food restrictions about 2 weeks ago (still
in the adjustment phase and hoping to survive.***

One thing I did and still do is make sure there is other food ready all
the time. Little kids don't like to wait for food, and even at ten,
when he knows how to make so many things, my son still sometimes prefers
fast.

I make a sandwich or two in the morning and cut it and wrap it separately
and have it in the fridge, ready to grab. I wash fruit and leave it on
the counter. I wash grapes and carrots and put them into little zip loc
bags. I always have bananas and nuts and seeds.

Kids will balance their food consumption naturally as long as they have
choices. If the only choice for quick and handy food is chips, etc. then
that's what they'll eat. If other choices are just as quick and handy
they get equal consideration.

It works! You'll survive. = )
