In the dim and distant past, children were scared of wolves, old coots or Buka from "Moominvalley". Today's children don't fear anything. Watching certain cartoons I wonder who they are made for. Bogeymen, monsters, dragons ... and I miss classic Polish characters like Bolek, Lolek and Reksio. What do you think: what are modern parents afraid of? Apart from extreme things, maybe they are afraid of ordinary white sugar? Sometimes, without reflection, we add it to tea or coffee. Today we look for sugar everywhere and in most products we find it.

Mostly we worry about our children, visualizing them in the future with tooth decay and being hugely overweight. We could completely ban sweets. We could propose one "sweet day" in the week. There are as many solutions as there are parents. Sometimes we and our children would like to have something sweet. It is probably easier for most of us in most cases if we go for chocolate. If we add dried fruits and nuts to the chocolate it will be go some way towards soothing our conscience. Therefore, it is my proposal for today. Please remember, however, that to protect our children against sugar you should not eat all of it by yourself.
