I've never been one for "banning" certain foods and there is also plenty of fresh fruit etc available but they both shovel down far too many biscuits (especially when I'm not around). There are no weight or eating disorder issues just a pair of kids who'd rather reach for a biscuit instead of a healthier alternative 95% of the time.

So I've just told them I won't be buying any more biscuits or crap of that ilk. If they want it they can buy it with their pocket money. aibu?

Eh, that’s what teenagers do. I’d buy one of those “biscuit barrel” packs that are about £1 and tell them that’s it.

They are being normal teens. Should in late teens/early 20s when they stop growing.

Buy biscuits weekly and expect them to eat them all within 2 days plus their normal meals and any other food they can find....

Instead of banning them, you could buy them less frequently.
