Proud Parent
It does begin and end with the parents. I see parents at our gym buying the gymnast snacks from the snack machine, along with a sugary drink before and after practice. Many kids eat pure crap and are often begging for more junk after practice. I hear them ask where they are going out to eat after practice, walking in with McDonalds, etc. And really the parents are in control, for the most part, of the types of foods their kids eat. BUT parents think they don't have control so they let the kids make the rules.
