Works the same way with kids.

Buy food: kid gobbles it down.

Buy again next week: kid gobbles it down. “You like that food?” “Yes, it’s good!”

Buy bulk pack of food 2 weeks later to save some cash and not forgetting to buy it next time. Kid has one more, then hates it. Now have multiple packages of chocofruitysugarbomb oatmeal that nobody wants to eat sitting in the cupboard until it expires.

Repeat for the next food item.

tbf don't think a kid should be eating that much chocofruitysugarbomb oatmeal regardless of if they like it or not, that's how someone like me who has ADHD (which gives me sensory issues and makes me super picky) gets even MORE picky and becomes addicted to sweet food. allegedly

a bowl of the average cereal is about the same value nutritionally as eating a bowl of ice cream with a pile of hay on top, certainly not something one should eat regularly

a) it’s a made up story about kids in general, not you or how you raise your kids. I don’t feed my kids junk food like that.

b) I’m surrounded by ADHD in my family. I am well aware of ADHD and many of its behavioral effects.
