My child is a greedy pig. Is it my fault?

My 10 year old child is eating us out of house and home. I have always had a relaxed attitude to food but think I need to rethink now. 12 year old is great, just has his meals plus 1 bag of crisps per day, 1 penguin, plenty of fruit. Today 10 year old has eaten cereal for breakfast, tuns sandwich for lunch. Sausage, mash and vegetables for tea. Then while I have not been watching, 2 bags of monster munch, 4 lollipops that I had saved for Halloween, 3 ice lollies, 1 entire punnet of strawberries, 2 trios, 2 sausage rolls. 2 apples. About 6 crackers with butter. Then went to bed complaining they were hungry. This is not normal is it? They are actually skinny. Am I right in thinking they will overweight be soon if I don’t stop this?

My 15 year old DS eats a huge amount of food. He buy snacks on the way to school, has food at recess, then a cooked lunch, then he buys sweets on the way home, cereal when he gets home, then he has 2 dinners (double what DH and I have) then he'll invariably have snacks in the evening.

Now this is what you call greedy OP. Even if the kid isn’t overweight....... yet.
