Second only to ice cream, most kids would happily choose to eat an all-cookie diet until scurvy and diabetes carried them away. The trick is to never let them discover cookies in the first place:

“I had a friend tell her kids that a saltine cracker is called a ‘cookie.’ So, anytime she was around a relative that offered her a cookie, she politely declined.”


ok atot''ers with kids, what say you?

I think teaching kids to talk wrong would be a blast. Teach them made up words for common items.

Sure, that trick will work for a little while, but when they figure it out, they're going to understand that you lied to them, and wonder what else you've been lying about.
I would have posted the same thing. Starting out life with a set of lies is not a great way to raise children. Will they ever trust you on more important details?

That is essentially the cowards way out. They can also say "no" to kids and they will not eat many cookies.

Crackers also will do the same. It’s loaded with starch. Just between the dehydration and crappy taste, total consumption might be less.

Any flour product will have no anti-amylase inhibitors to reduce the sugar absorption in the small intestine.
Saltine crackers are the #1 cariogenic food according to the following:

My kids and grandkids grew up knowing these as "gorilla cookies":
