Hi Trudy,
I'm not sure if there is a easy solution to this problem. I have to pay very close attention to the amount of sugar my family uses. And I believe that it is vital that all families monitor their children. We have an obscene amount of overweight children (not to mention adults as well) - who don't know what vegetables are, or that it is good for you to play outside and interact with others. Education on nutrition and proper table manners, should start at home with a return to families sitting down together for the evening meal, instead of relying on fast food outlets. I know this sounds very very old fashioned, and with both parents having to work it is not easy, however try to take time out, maybe just one night a week, to sit down to a properly balanced dinner. Who knows, you might even get to know the kids better!!
Take care
