My MIL has been very faithful by cooking soupy stuff for my daughter since the time we gave her solids. Now at age 3, we have problems feeding her whenever we are at an eating place which does not serve soups suitable for her! Where junk food and all the other unhealthy stuff are concerned, I now give them if she asks for them in limited quantities. I am afraid that if I stop her from eating them, she might go on a junk food binge when I am not around since she has been so deprived. I don't think everyone will agree with me. What do you think?

Her daughter asked for chocolate and she just let her eat all the chocolate she wanted, until she grew sick of it and doesn't want any chocolate anymore! Luckily it works, else she would have to deal with a chocoholic. Now my girl is over 1yr old, I am also getting a bit less axious about what goes into her mouth. As long as they are not too salty or sweet or loaded with preservatives, I will let her eat if she shows interest. Sometimes I feel that depriving them of certain food (ie, control intake) would make the eating more enjoyable when they get to eat them in future. By the way, the junk food binge you mentioned created a very frightening image in my mind...hehe. I have a friend who did something like what you did, only more extreme.
