On Kids no. 19

[I will hit the kid scene when I think of something that comes to mind or something I've discussed with the folks in the know... I hope it can bring about new thinking for a parent or two]
Did you ever think that you could cut out a meal schedule altogether for kids and just fill them up as needed. Sure… our doctor and your doctor and all the scary smart people say make it convenient for you but what if… what if you just go by the guidance of your doctor when they were babies when they said “they won’t starve!”. If you taught kids to not HAVE to eat “just becuase” we might be able to solve obesity.
The system is definitely broken even though we know its very gene-pool driven. Our kids are rails and they eat the 3 a day cycle but we know they would be probably the same if they (at least the 4 year old) ate 1 on one day, 3 on another and 2 another as hunger came about.
Do you have another way?
