concerning eaing and drinking.
childhood
MN: my 2 year old will eat 3 slices of whole meal toast, an entire tub of hummus (organic, natch), 2 satsumas, a kilo of olives, a head of broccoli and some lentil dhal for his mid-morning snack. He's skinny and tall. Drinks water only.
RL: My 2 year old threw his cheerios across the kitchen and ate half a petit filous the entire day. He's average in height and weight. Had a fanta for breakfast.
teen years
MN: my 15 yo will eat 3 homemade pizzas, a pint of icecream, 5 donuts, a bag of carrot sticks, a big tub of hummus, 200g of cheese that has been sliced up so as to you use the cheese as spoon to eat 2 tins of baked beans. They drink water, and the occasional fruit juice. They're sport, slim and tall.
RL: They ate 1 pizza and some doritos.... they play Xbox ALL day in their room. They chugged a can of redbull in 5 seconds.
adult years
MN: I am 32 yo. I look at a lettuce leaf on a Monday, and find that fills me up until Thursday evening, where I lick a tomato, which sets me up nicely for my Monday lettuce leaf. Anything else is just gluttony. Just the water for me please, except at Christmas, where I'll have a drop of champagne in my water.
RL: I am 32yo. I have to buy two bags of bakery cookies from Tesco when I go shopping.. because one pack is for me to get me through the journey home. I washed them down wit a litre of chocolate milk.
