This week I found some candy in my kitchen that had been sitting out since my kids brought it home from school before Christmas.  It was just as it had been left; untouched by the usual critters that go after every dropped crumb.  

What is wrong with kids' junk food that even the ants and cockroaches won't touch it?  Why do people insist on giving this stuff to children?  What can be done when parents, grandparents, and friends have differing opinions of what is acceptable food for growing kids?  Nikola and I chat about this issue and how we handle it.
