So, we were eating lunch the other day - I made sandwiches, and I gave him a side of apple sauce. He wanted to share the apple sauce with me, and I said "No honey, mommy can't eat that." He looks at me and says "Cause it makes mommy sick?" Anyway, it melted my heart. He has been noticing a lot more lately when we eat different foods, so I've been explaining to him which foods I can't eat, how it makes my tummy hurt, etc. I guess it's starting to catch on with him. Just had to share. He'll be 3 in May.  |

ahhhhh. That is so cool. I can see it now....... A few years from now, he'll be the expert on here saying......My mom can eat this, my mom doesn't do so good with that...... He and Lily will be carrying the torch onward.  I have the opposite here. Regina always wants to share, too. So since she thinks her SF chocolate is so wonderful, she always wants us to share hers. I much prefer regular, but I always end up eating hers, too. At least now we are sharing the same jars of peanuts and olives. Horray! |

My daughter is the same. She will be 4 this summer. She often asks "Can you eat this, mommy?" or "Does this contain sugar, mommy?" when chewing away on her apple/carrot/whatever. She (and all children of HFI-parents) will probably be very informed on the contents of food as she grows up. I do nibble on a very dark chocolate sometimes (86% cacao does mean that the sugar-content is correspondingly lower than in a 55% chocolate... and the ones that contains an acceptable sweetener is too sweet for my taste), and she often gets a piece of that when she has her Saturday candy. She always comment on that "This is your chocolate mommy, with less sugar." And she wants me to taste it with her. ;D |

That is so cute about your kids! I always wondered how kids would respond to an HFI parent. This is too adorable. Tammy, sharing olives is a wonderful thing.  |

I agree - kids with an HFI parent will probably be very clued into what is in food and dietary "issues". When he was first born I was very concerned about raising him to eat his fruits and vegetables when I don't eat it myself. It is such a relief to finally have HFI as a reason and explanation. |
