CLEANING THEIR PLATES COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO KIDS' HEALTH
DEAR ABBY: "Milwaukee Grandma" (Feb. 16) was "appalled to
see the number of adults who forced their children to eat"
in restaurants. "Grandma" is absolutely right. Children will
eat when hungry and stop when they have had enough. The old
saying "Clean your plate" is contributing to the obesity
epidemic. Children are born with the ability to self-regulate
their food intake. Notice how many babies move their heads
away from the bottle or breast when they are full.
Eating out is expensive, and restaurants tend to serve
portions that are larger than necessary for a child's small
stomach. Instead of forcing the child to finish, parents
should take half the dinner home for a later time.
The obesity epidemic is based on many factors, including
excessive meal portions, decreased physical activity, abun-
dance of junk food, and lack of available and affordable
healthy foods in some areas of the country -- to name a few.
Parents can make a difference by involving their children in
the shopping for and preparation of meals, eating as a family
with the TV shut off and making activity fun and a part of
the everyday routine.

DEAR DIETITIAN: Thank you for enlightening me regarding the

DEAR ABBY: I was raised by parents who forced me to "clean
my plate or else." They were the ones who fixed my plate or
decided what to order us kids in restaurants. Eating became
a negative experience as I was growing up.
It wasn't until I got counseling prior to my gastric bypass
surgery that I learned to stop eating when I was full instead
of feeling guilty unless I cleaned my plate. In counseling,
I was told it was OK to leave food on my plate -- but by then
I weighed 400 pounds.
It's better to teach children to eat at mealtime, be respon-
sible when it comes to snacking and "listen to your body"
when it says, "I'm full."
-- HAPPY WITH MY WEIGHT NOW
DEAR ABBY: As a family and consumer sciences educator, one
of the courses I teach in child development is "division of
responsibility." This means it's the parents' responsibility
to offer nutritious food choices to their children, and the
children's responsibility to decide how much to eat.
By forcing children to "clean their plate," we are overriding
the natural programming they are born with that tells them
when they are full and to stop eating. When we teach children
to eat past natural satiation, obesity is the natural conse-
quence.
-- LAURA IN MOSCOW, IDAHO
DEAR ABBY: We have one child with severe food allergies and
two others who have ADD and emotional issues. Their medica-
tions decrease their appetites, which makes it difficult for
them to gain weight and grow. We may be the parents
"Milwaukee Grandma" is referring to as we urge our children
to eat more.
There are many children out there with medical challenges
that make getting enough nutrients difficult. Other illnesses
require some kids to consume a certain number of calories.
For some, being in the "Clean Plate Club" is critical to
their health and well-being.
