My father checked out as borderline diabetic, high cholesterol and high triglycerides, so i took him off potato chips, high sugar foods and fried food. Of course he will get occasional taquitos or something sweet, but he is a junk food junkie. He's 92 now...and I've always cooked and fed him at least one healthy meal a day. He knows his test results but keeps asking me for junk food! I'm not sure if I should just give him his junk or keep playing police? Advice please....

Also, I find for myself when I go on a junk food binge it helps to limit the portions available, buy the single serving bag of chips not the family size bag, only make one piece of fried chicken per person, etc!
I see all the sweets my parents have on their grocery list, but I don't plan to say anything to them... Mom is 97 and Dad is 93. They must have been doing something right all those years :)
