I've known children to pass up the cookies and chose fruit instead. I've given my nephew an open bag of candy - he'll eat a few pieces and stop. Children are growing. They crave fat and sugar because that is what they need. If any child over does it on the sweets it is because of that need. When the child gets older, stops growing and does not need the high calorie diet it grew up on, it will naturally be less attracted to sugars. Children/people who remain sweet toothed are attracted to the pleasure they get from eating it, not the actual sugar. Eating fills a void. They are attracted to the pleasure of eating sweets because they have been their entire lives. They eat because it tastes good, and that makes them feel good. They have used food for pleasure, for reward, for celebration, not for what it is intended, life.
