Utterly unfair

I have this nasty-cough-that-maybe-is-bronchitis-i-guess-maybe-i-will-go-to-the-doctor-if-it-isn't-better-in-a-few-days thing. We just told projectmothra that we weren't having snacks between lunch and dinner, and that he needed to go outside and play and not play video games, but I'm secretly waiting for him to go out with bard_bloom so I can eat some fudge that read_alicia gave to us and then play Elebits.

You are right to protect him from Alicia's fudge.

One of the benefits...

... of being the adult in teh relationship is being able to choose what you do and have it be DIFFERENT than what the child does.

You are an adult. You are completely free to choose to have fudge for all your meals for the next $arbitrary_time_period if you care to. That is completely orthogonal to what your child can/should/needs for lunch.

Now, I'm emphatically NOT addressing the sensibility or usefulness of the all-fudge-all-the-time diet. Just the potential.

whenever she wants.

(but rarely does, cause she doesn't do sugar of any sort much)
