In our family we also limit amount of sweets and junk food. Usually it’s a treat on some holiday. We especially avoid sweets (M&M, Skittles, Gelly beans, lollipops etc.). Nowadays they add a lot of artificial stuff in kids treats.

Yes, and in that "artificial stuff" is cancer-causing agents, such as the dye number of the food coloring. As a mom, I find it extremely difficult to control this matter due to external cicumstances.
@gungho and it’s hard to explain others why we’re being so strict with food. We have allergies, so we use that as an extra excuse when people still don’t get it and ignore our rules. Also we tell our kids not to eat food someone gave them, but I don’t know if they do so when I don’t see them.
