My mom is a dental hygienist so she was looking out for our teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506257 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:50:33 +0000 Anagram 506257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in a teensy town in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest restaurants and grocery stores at least 30 minutes away, so we were really dependent on what mom bought at the store. She's a *very* healthy eater, so we never had:</p> <p>-white bread<br /> -sodas of any kind<br /> -cookies<br /> -sugary cereals<br /> -candy<br /> -chips</p> <p>Our after school snacks were usually things like something we called "cheesy wheats"--melted cheese on top of plain shredded wheat, or peanut butter on celery, or sometimes graham crackers and apples or air popped popcorn.</p> <p>You'd think that would have rubbed off on me--but I love junk food as an adult. I don't buy it to have it at home very often though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506226 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:41:17 +0000 mrbee 506226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@REESE: Haha nope it's just laziness!

I always asked though when we went to the store - just in case it happened to be a yes day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506191 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:33:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 506191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just junk food and sweets. They rarely bought cookies, chips, soda or other junk food so we rarely got to eat those things at home. When they did buy junk food, it was usually a "healthy" version of the item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506183 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:31:54 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 506183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that I can remember.

There were no rules surrounding food in our house. We have good genes though, so even though we are big eaters we are all really thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506161 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:25:17 +0000 mrbee 506161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: OPPRESSION!!!</p> <p>I think she wanted to minimize the amount of cholesterol we ate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-limit-your-intake-of-any-particular-foods-growing-up#post-506150 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:23:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 506150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: How come she limited your egg intake?
