Children have truly little choice on what nutrition is served by their parents. Many mothers share with me their worry on how their child can be seeing as an outcast if he/she doesn’t indulge in junk food during lunch, so mothers choose to put candy and nutrient deficient food (AKA junk food) in their child’s lunch box.
He or she can be the subject of ridicule and maybe even physical punishment by his/her peers if the child doesn’t indulge in junk food.
I believe education by ALL parents is important when it comes to the correct nutrition and it will save children the agony, pain and expense of heart conditions, stroke, diabetes, panic attacks, etc. as they grow older.
