Ms DS just cant behave himself...........could it be linked to his diet??

[stoppinattwo]

he loves his fruit shoots tho, my sister says thats what send him bananas

banana flavour fruit shoots?

I was under the impression that fruit shoots are not that bad cos the do not contain a ny artificial flavours, colours etc. And also that they are not good because they are made of concentrated juice (ie. process it, take out the water and most of the goodness and then replace the water) Whilst they contain naturally occuring fruit sugar they have no added sugar.

we have done macdonalds a couple of time this week too, but we can stop that any time.

Its just somtimes so much easier than cooking at home, he's getting all his meat n veg there, whats the green thing in the burger called again???

Does he eat anything else with lots of additives(let's face it most of us do). Some people, especially little people can go dolally if they have too many E numbers. Try a couple of days of made from scratch meals and no sugar apart from fruit and see how he goes.

I really cant believe his behaviour is so affected by what he eats, i think he just does it for the attention

I think where your going wrong is you need to be getting him the quarter pounder with cheese, that way he gets two green things I'm not sure one is enough also that plastic cheese will do for his daily calcium intake to make his diet more rounded.

OOh, Mc Donalds is naughty for the kids, howevrr much they say they have improved nutritional standards. How many kids do you know who would choose a fruit bag and a carton of milk with their Mc Nuggets? Pah!
(We go to McDs sometimes but we leave the kids at home. LOL)

oh ledodgyrobespierre those green bits give me the creeps, i always put mine on DS's burger anyway.

what about skittles???

Skittles are only good if he can put 10 in his mouth at once so all those lovely colours mix, smarties used to be brill but now they're simply a muted version of their former selves.

that was orange flavoured chocolate they used to put in the orange ones wasnt it???

yes.

skittles surely count as fruit, don't they????

Yes but you need to eat at least 5.

So a packet could last you a week for packed lunches then................ great

ledodgyrobespierre - your joking about the orange smarties right? I only like the orange ones

err my kids like the fruit and milk at macdonalds.

Hi there
I can sympathise with you... dd1 often goes bananas too Try checking food labels for E211 and turmeric used as a colourant (i think) worked for me!! HTH
