Food enjoyed, now disliked alot

i have problems with people trying to push garbage on my son. they act like he is being deprived because we give him whole foods to eat but at almost 3 he loves vegetables and is willing to try any new food we offer him and loves healthy foods. the grandmothers tend to get a bit freaked out by the lack of junk food in his diet though.

I don't understand that reaction in people regarding kids who prefer real food to junk food. Is it REALLY so terrible if a kid willingly picks carrot sticks over potato chips?

I've noticed that as I get older, my tolerance for sugar gets lower. Its not just for chocolate or other junk food but for soymilk and juices as well. Most of my junk food is homemade now, just so I can control the sugar and salt content and do weird things like adding flaxseeds to cracker sticks and brownies.
