Deprive them now and watch the other kids make fun of them. And then that sets up those kids for an unhealthy attachment to those foods in the future, as well as sending them negative thoughts about themselves in the present. Moderation in all things. Besides good, whole food is expensive, outrageously so with the tariffs and threats of tariffs, as we are rapidly discovering.
