Parents Guilty of over feeding their children As you already know we have a child obesity epidemic. Why are children getting fatter and fatter? We blame today's society for this problem. We blame television we blame lack of exercise we blame the schools we blame everything for this epidemic except for the real cause, the parents.
I'm blaming the parents of fat children. You buy the food, you cook the food you watch them eat the food, so how can you blame anyone or anything except yourself.
Parents need to be role models for their children, like the old saying "monkey see, monkey do". If you are stopping four times a week to buy fast food and are buying gallons of soda, it's your fault. You are killing your children.
What I find ironic is if you starve your children you are a criminal, but if you over feed your children you're a good parent. Think about it does your child drink more soda or water? The answer is soda but if you don't offer it, they can't drink it. Water has no calories and we need it to survive, soda has 150 calories and eats the paint off cars. So what's the better choice?
There are many excuses as to why parents don't monitor their children but you could make better food choices, teach them a little about the benefits of exercise and health and turn off the television and send them outside.
Parents need to take charge instead of blaming everyone and everything for their problems take a stand and just say NO!
