Why don't we feed our kids real fruit instead of fruit-flavored junk food?!

I think that the food industry has made all that fruit flavored processed stuff all too Appealing to our kids, and that is why when we offer the real deal they don't see the difference between the 2!. I have a son who is 6 and I don't let him have any sodas or juice pouches or anything like that!. He drinks water and 1% milk only!. The only fruit he likes are Apples!. I myself always have plenty of fresh fruit on hand because I grew up eating every kind of fruit grown in the south because my parents picked them as a living!. I grew up eating the freshest Oranges,Cantaloupe,Watermelon,Peaches,St!.!.!. and Limes, Tangerines, Tangelos,Grapefruit, and more!.!.!.
I think the only thing we can do is try and offer the real thing as often as possible and hope that they'll take it!. you know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Laziness!? also the real stuff is more expensive and it's harder to get kids to eat it, so instead of telling the kids it's this or nothing they cave and give in!. I do not buy soda or juice that does not containe actual fruit, they RARELY eat candy, chips, ice cream or any of that crap!Www@FoodAQ@Com

My daughter loves all fruit (except melon) and eats at least 3 or 4 pieces/portions every day!. She is nearly four and has never had commercial ice cream, fizzy drinks or sweets!. Just the occasional chocolate!. If you start them on healthy food then they will happily eat it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
