Food-Minded Parenting: When Is it too much?

In a convenience-driven world where children are bearing the brunt of the consequences in the form of obesity and subpar health, it is understandable that many parents striving towards creating healthy eating habits in their children.
But when offer good nutrition cross the line to orthorexia?
Self appointed obesity lawyer Meme Roth (perhaps best known for her tirade against "over-the-heavier-side" American Idol participant Jordin Sparks) daily exercise for her children, as well as a "no sugar-at-the-school-week" policy enforces. She is heavily involved in anti-obesity campaigns, boycott Girl Scout cookies and fight for a ban on cupcakes in schools.
There are no definitive guidelines to what "obsessive" or even "about doing", when it comes to how parents food in the household. I will, however, throw some suggestions in the hat and welcome input from all-agree/disagree or add your own. "Rules" on what children can and cannot eat strictly enforced.Posts by ideal body weight vs. health.Hyperfocus on healthy eating to the point where it is continually harped on.Insist on only eating organic.Universal qualifications and extremes to categorize foods (good vs. bad food). "Sugarphobia "," fat-phobia "or other irrational food category-shunning.Enforcement of restrictive eating as raw veganism, very low carb diet or other extremes (without the guidance of a professional).Openly negative attitude towards those who are as healthy as you do not eat.Censure as children create an unhealthy choice. Exaggerate or catasrophizing the consequences of not eating enough of a particular food (vegetables) or too much of other foods (take your pick).
The world of nutrition is confusing enough for adults. With two young children of my own I see the fight and them myself experienced. I am learning there is a delicate balance to the all-bringing up children on making healthy choices, while they enjoy all foods.
Role-models good food choices as well as monitoring without guilt indulgences will help create positive associations with food.
