Hello,

I have a four year old son, he is generally healthy and active, social, full-time TK student.

He developed a taste for bacon about a year ago, and is going through a picky stage of eating. He will have it on average 3-5 times per week, and will eat about 1/4 to 1/2 of a pound when he has it. I am concerned that this may be unhealthy for him, and would like to raise concerns with his mother (who I am separated from) but am looking for any professional opinions or any links to peds research on nutrition that I review. Thank you!
