A member asked:

Is it ok for a 3 yo kid to be eating 3 large scoops of ice cream every single day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Without a better sense of the kids other nutritional input it is hard to speculate. On its face, this would suggest a pattern of poor choices that could easily lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure before the kid is past their teens.
