For those who've mentioned elimination diets and intolerances. I get that. It's more the people who believe we as a race are intolerant. Not case by case. That's when I start to question. Not defensively, and only neurotically occasionally. I just don't want to be ignorant. But like I said everything I've read is inconclusive.
I'd say you're doing fine - I hope so, cause I feed my DD the exact same way! She eats everything, whether its healthy or sweet. My motto is 'everything in moderation'. I don't see the point in cutting things out just for the sake of it.
Oh Rouge I could have written that - my problem on top of what you wrote (because out diet here is very similar) is that I have trouble getting veggies into DS on top of all that - so I definitely feel that as well. They eat heaps of fruit and any fruit, all meats, wholemeal bread, pasta, rice, like yours, love sushi - if we do have takeaway tends to be indian or fried rice type stuff, etc. but I have so many friends doing paleo (all that grain and wheat will kill ya) sugar free (all that sugar will definitely kill ya) etc. and not from intolerances but just lifestyle choices.
I do feel that it's definitely the new "in" thing to be eating "clean" - but I try and remind myself that my kids have a relatively balanced diet, I hide veggies as much as I can for DS to get them into him but it's still hard because every second thing you read tells you something different. I just remind myself I also know people who have kids who will only eat "yellow" food - like cheese, nuggets, pasta etc and are only now at 5-6yrs old introducing veggies and fruit so I tell myself things can also be much much worse!
Diet wise, it sounds great! But I think what is important is their overall view of food, and it sounds like you've got that covered as well. If they're not eating out of boredom or using food as a crutch, I reckon you're winning
