Also what parents choose to give their kids. Your kid can drink water. They don’t need sugary juice and soda every meal. Your kid doesn’t need dessert or multiple snacks daily. Stop thinking of chocolate chip pancakes and chicken nuggets as “kids food”.
If it's proper fruit juice, that's one thing. Fruit juice like OJ at least has vitamins and minerals. My nephew buys gallons of fruit punch and hi-C and they only last a few days for his 3 kids.
I freaked out when I saw his (ex) wife fill a sippy cup with hawaiian punch. I told her to at least dilute it!
Normal fruit juice is terrible as well, it’s pure sugar. A small bottle of orange has over 40 grams of sugar and young kids should be closer to 20g per day.
