No, I don't think we should stop - but children need to be taught the importance of a healthy diet and exercise etc. Children should still be allowed treats - everything in moderation!!

WE shouldnt deny children certain foods just because they are junk they will only crave them and get them from other sources as they get older. And they enjoy them and should be allow treats. The answer here is treat and not staple diet. Kids should have chips once a week and learn to eat other foods such as pasta rice breads potato as part of a balanced diet. Young Children should be given unsalted crisps and these should be a treat also maybe once or twice a week rather than a copout on proviving real food.

Kids love snacks and are very picky eaters. I would rather them be eating crisps and chips than chocolate and sweet fizzy drinks. Ok you're risking obesity both ways. But crisps and chips are more likely to keep a childs teeth healthy.
Really you have to look at each individual child, assess what they will eat and then pick the healthiest diet from there.

No, but you shouldn't give a whole bag of Potato Chips to one child. You should buy smaller samwich bags and fill those up with them and then give that to them. A whole giant bag of Potato chips is suppost have like 12 servings and I was reading a doritos bag or whatever and it said eating only 2 chips or something is 100 calories so it's kinda werid. You have to check the Nutrion Facts on the back of the bag or box of anything and if the kid is like 5 they should only have like 1100 calories a day for a adult's bell balenced healthy diet it's 2000 calories a day.

NO! In moderation they are fine. We should stop giving them processed **** like Dairylea reformed ham snacks - what are they all about? Or tinned meatballs etc.
We should teach children moderation and the value of a balanced diet not teach them that crisp / chocolate is wrong. If you treat certain foods as forbidden fruit you will only make them want it more.

It depends how old the child. Chips & crisps are very salty & young children can't process salt so it's very bad for them.
I also think these foods are quite addictive & if you give them to young children they will get into the habit of eating/demanding them which, given their high fat content, is not good for their weight.

Crisps additionally harm the mucous membrane sufficient to permit micro organism in. after all, they're subtle carbohydrate. i can not remember whilst my infants first had crisps or chips, yet all of them started on a weight loss plan of very just about organic fruit and uncooked vegetables. ultimately they'd desire to make an counseled determination, whether that's fairly person-friendly to scare them, and this runs the prospect of them an ingesting affliction. it is what occurred to my daughter, whether she is now high quality. Acrylamide is barely one in each and every of a super form of subjects concerning to nutrients. i think of the respond is a regular theory that the closer to the residing wild state a nutrients is, the extra appropriate, and speaking this to infants by employing occasion. additionally they ought to make their own counseled judgements in some unspecified time interior the destiny.

We don`t have to stop giving these to our kids but as i mentioned in a previous question it`s all down to moderation . The school my daughter goes to (Scotland) has taken chips off the school dinners completely and they are only allowed to take crisps on a Monday and Friday for playtime .Tues-Thurs has to be healthy snacks .

They shouldn't stop, just cut down to maybe a few days a week. Children need variety in food or they become fussy so unhealthy foods should be given as treats or if you are out and about, they should be given only as a convenience but stopping altogether is a bit extreme.

Not at all. Just give them in moderation. I used to eat chips occasionally at school and at home, but I'm healthy and slim and I don't eat them that often now. I think too much emphasis is put on them being 'forbidden' which is why kids and adults gorge on them. And too much of anything can't be good for you!
