Agreed. I have 3 kids. My wife and I thought we’d raise them on only “healthy” food, but that didn’t stick around too long. Now, we try to prepare healthy food so it’s tasty and they’ll eat it. Instead of flat-out banning junk, or making it seem “evil,” we stress that things like soda, candy, and ice cream are indeed delicious, but having too much without also eating healthy will affect how you feel and grow. They still like junk, but they’re surprisingly good at self-regulating.
