You’ve probably had the urge to complain about a parent or their child onboard a plane just because their child wouldn’t stop crying or screaming or kicking your seat at least once.

And so the eternal “food balance” struggle continues, and it gets particularly tricky with the kids around Halloween time.  On one hand, I am passionate about trying to maximize the nutritional content of all of my family’s food to optimise our health and wellbeing.  But on the other hand, I never ever want my children to feel like they are deprived of anything, whether that be sweet treats, chips or pizzas.  I am very against restrictive or exclusion diets, unless of course it is medically necessary, and I am very anti the current unhealthy obsession with so-called “clean eating”.   What we eat certainly has absolutely nothing to do with watching our weight or changing the way our bodies look on the outside, and ALL to do with how our bodies work and feel on the inside.
