Junk Food Junkie – That’s My Kid!

A Plethora of Candy Options

A Plethora of Candy Options

Parents, you’d have to agree that nothing can stop a kid from crying more than candy.  Don’t feel too bad.  You’re not the only ones that use candy as a bribe.  Teachers are known for using Skittles to teach her kids the colors of the rainbow.  And dentists pass out lollipops after you kid gets his teeth cleaned.

So go ahead.  Show your kids how much you love them.  Bring 30 mini cupcakes to your kid’s class on her birthday.   After all, she is learning how to share, right?  As a matter of fact, they can learn to share the pink marshmallow bunnies for Easter, the green sprinkled Shamrock cookies on St. Pattie’s Day, the monster gummy bear for Halloween, and let’s not forget all the Holiday goodies for Thanksgiving and Christmas!  Of all the people in the world, parents are the ones who can appreciate junk food the most.  We sure know how to bribe our kids!

However, for every kid’s smile comes a future cavity.  They just don’t realize it until the kid’s 8th birthday when their kid is sitting on the dentist’s chair, waiting to get their cavity filled.  Heck, they probably don’t realize that junk food is linked to asthma.  Do they know that one in three kids are overweight?  You think that parents would begin to wonder why schools have stopped selling sodas and banned vending machines on campus a few years ago.  Especially since we as a nation ranks 9th when it comes to being the fattest nation in the world.  In the WORLD!  But that’s OK because we LOVE our children, right?  Yup.

Junk food is now a part of our daily diet.  Grab your sandwich for lunch, but don’t forget about the large soda and bag of Doritos!  Cuz some people might still think that Coco-cola is good for you (and your kid).  Perhaps setting a good example for your kids should be on your 2009 New Year’s Resolution list.
