calagahan, welcome to the forums.

I would not worry too much,as long as it is an occasional treat.

As far as telling him that they are not made anymore, well I have always been very honest with my children. If I were you I would just tell him that you don't think that they are very good to eat all the time and he can still have them sometimes for a treat.

Welcome Calagahan,
        That salt content is high, I don't blame you not giving them to the kids any more.
        I don't think Mummza was trying to be patronising, more like warning that the kids would catch you out as you walked round Tesco's, and saw them on the shelf !.
        Keep smiling,

Calagahan, Sorry if you think that I was being patronising....I definatly was NOT.

You had read  in your posting suggested that you might " lie and tell him they don't make them anymore"
I was just pointing out that this is never a good idea and as Ady has said....'kids would catch you out as you walked around Tesco's, and saw them on the shelf !'

If your kids like stringy cheese try warming up some Buffalo Mozzarella mate...

Good quality Buffalo Mozzarella is worth serving on its own but can also be served with a good extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, or as a salad with tomatoes and avocados or with roasted red and green peppers and strips of sun-dried tomatoes.

On cooking mozzarella becomes extremely stringy and is the first choice of cheese to use in pizzas.

I always say steer clear of over-processed rubbish and get kids eating the good stuff.... there is always a realy good equivalent to most low quality junk foods!

All the best
