Sugar, all by itself is bad (awful bad), but when you add "Red 40" to the mix children go into instant hyperactive-overdrive. They start bouncing off the walls and you might as well be feeding them crack cocaine.
I spent a total of 24 days watching our grandkids this year and everyone of them was a battle over what they'd eat. I could not get the oldest (11 years old now) to take a single bite of real food during the course of two 10 day stints or the past four days. I did only slightly better with his younger sister, 5 years old now, and she's getting worse, not better.
Last night we had a huge spread of wonderful homemade food for Christmas Dinner and those two kids didn't taste a bit of it.
It's like watching my grandkids get slowly poisoned. It's insane and there is nothing I can do about it.
