I'm firmly on your side, Graham. My own grandchildren's parents never
take them to a FF restaurant (nor does my husband) - that's my
territory. They don't even ask me, I'm the one who suggests it! They
are learning to cook from scratch with me and their parents and I
don't experience a shred of guilt when I take them because all have
healthy eating habits.
