Decide for Yourself
Cooper states on her blog that she makes food to feel good and wants to instill that in her daughter. It’s important that Grace is healthy, so Shannon plans to let her choose for herself as she ages. By the time she’s going to friends’ parties, she’s old enough to make choices and suffer any consequences.
Grace Should Feel Good
One reason Shannon doesn’t want to restrict Grace is that she hopes her daughter feels good while eating. Teenagers often suffer from eating disorders, and she doesn’t want Grace to develop one. Some have praised Shannon for what she did, but others are naysayers.
