Some things I just thought of health-wise concerning my parents: -Don't eat too many eggs (though only was ever said to my brother, who wanted to eat ALL his easter eggs in one sitting) -Dessert isn't necessary (but I never felt pressure to skip dessert if it was free) -Take what you can eat/eat only until you're full
ETA:-Soda is unnecessary. THIS is the only major thing I can think of. My parents rarely bought us pop, unless it was like a 20oz "treat" or for parties/birthdays. My bio dad ALWAYS had coke and Bethany and I often found ways to buy our own, but my mom never supplied it for us.
...I really am having a difficult time with this. I didn't spend my life being scolded by my parents or having them tell me all these beliefs about food. The only thing I can think of that was beaten into me was to not get more food than you can eat. And everywhere else just sorta was heard by me but not absorbed in a way where I felt guilty about the way I lived my life.
