Oh yeah, there might be some "real" food produced in addition to the sweets I suppose.

Real food? But Auntie! That will be as bad as being at home!

I may be picking on my girls. My older one, who is celebrating her 12th birthday today, has an awesome apetite. She'll try anything and she eats raw tomatoes like popcorn.
She's growing like a weed, 90% for height, and has a zest for food. Wide range of tastes but her sweet tooth gets the best of her. We really have to watch her.

Now my youngest(10 year old) is a much more picky eater but at least doesn't have as much of an apetite for junk food as the older one. She has also grown to like tomatoes too. That started last summer.
Older one eats everything in sight both good and bad, younger one is much more finicky on both ends.

Strawberries and chocolate are right up their alley. Use to grow strawberries years back but my one Chocolate Lab at the time would help herself to all the ripe fruit. I thought it was really cute! She was such a nutty dogger!
