Kid hates brushing his teeth....

I'm surprised you didn't mention sodas.

I cringe every time I see a child drinking a freaking soft drink.

Wake up, people!!

You are exactly right, although it should be so obvious. I'm more talking in the 2-5 age range although some of these kids are drinking soda.

What about the parents taking their kids to starbucks at like 8, 10 years old. No, you're kid doesn't need a super size frappuccino with a shitload of caffeine.

Maybe I'm naive but it never occurred to me that parents would give a 2 or 3 year old kid soda. I've always assumed that most parents would be smarter than that, but then again I shouldn't be surprised by anything parents do these days. And even good parents seem to think juice is fine and don't realize they may as well be feeding their kid straight sugar.

it is tough though...many believe that the sugar substitutes will kill you over time.....



not a ton of palatable choices...for a kid...

Absolutely. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Being a kid was a helluva lot easier back in my day. :142smilie

this explains what i see every time i go to the supermarket(which is infrequently)......the carnage left behind by some of these little beggars would lead one to believe that they just zapped a few lines of peruvian marching dust....
