That was about the same time we noted issues with our son. He was not
used to eating junk food so it was easier to spot it on the rare
occasion that he had it. When he was about 5 we were on a road trip and
he had something with a red-orange colour to it. The stuff was tasty.
Within minutes he was carrying on and then about 10 minutes he was
crashing from it.
