A calorie is not just a calorie when…my child sneaks or lies to me about this food.  I can’t tell you how many times I have had a Mom tell me that she finds hidden candy and junk food wrappers in the dresser drawers, closets and backpacks of her otherwise honest kid – even really little kids.  And these are not parents that don’t allow any junk, so it is not as if these are kids who are just reacting to being rigidly deprived of treats.  Clearly this food group is not neutral.  Some whole other level of addictive quality seems to be at work.
