Umm food? you hide food? As a recent teen and a currently constnatly eating person I can tell you nothing is worse than 'providers' (parents) withholding food. I know you think he gets enough, but....Umm it is food!!!!! if you don't like the quality, buy less don't hide. (and buy more good for him stuff!!!!!!!!)

I can see a nice clear label on what is for dinner, but make sure there are alternatives! It takes alot ot grow a 17 year old boy! (I am a girl and it took a lot to grow me! Not to mention growing the three little ones around here, one of whom still gets all his calories from me, 3 month old)
