14-year-old yells at his 15-year-old brother for throwing away all the food in the house that has sugar in it because he's going on a diet: 'I need orange juice in the morning for my iron supplements.'

He has no right to dictate what everyone else in the house eats. 

If you grew up in a family where your parents were frequently going on diets, you know what it's like to have the contents of the pantry radically change overnight, only for it to go back to normal after a few months. You think that the days of whole grain pasta will never end, but nobody can eat gross health food for their whole life, especially if they're not particularly motivated to do so. 

The question of whether one family member's diet should dictate the food choices of the whole household is a tricky one. If someone is deathly allergic to something, it's fair to not keep it in the household for their safety. But what if someone is just on a diet, and they will break it if someone buys Golden Oreos. Should their family be deprived of Golden Oreos just because they are undisciplined? If they want to be on a diet so badly, they shouldn't break it just because there is unhealthy food in the house. Then again, parents might try to be better safe than sorry if they don't trust their kids to stick with a medically prescribed diet.
