Half light hearted but half seriously interested how much fruit do your children eat? My teenage son has always been a picky eater but loves fruit so I suppose I’ve let him get away with eating a lot of fruit because for a long time the rest of his diet was junk. Lately he does eat better - not quite so picky but still loves fruit and would eat it all day long if I let him. I did a big shop today and we’ve just fell out over how much fruit he is eating it’s costing me a fortune and with the cost of living going up I can’t afford his fruit habit ! The above fruit in the title is what he’s eaten today and there would have been more if I’d let him. He loves strawberries, raspberries any berries but will eat the lot in one go. I’ve just done a rough calculation and am guessing he’s cost me nearly 5 pounds today in fruit and if that’s every day it’s probably 30-35 a week just for him - no wonder I’m skint! How much fruit does your children eat and if it’s not much what snacks do they eat that’s healthy and cheaper? He must have asked me 5 times today if we have any food before helping himself to more fruit!
