As a parent, I do my best to get my kids to eat healthy foods. But then they turn on Nickelodeon and see all those enticing junk-food ads. |
But then they turn on Nickelodeon and see all those enticing junk-food ads. Adding insult to injury, we enter the grocery store and see our beloved Nick characters plastered on all those junky snacks and cereals. |
If my youngest sees her favorite TV character on the box, she will push me to buy it, even if she has never had the product before. Whenever I shop with my kids, I end up compromising and finding some 'best of the worst' junk food to keep them happy. |
It's hard for a parent to compete with so many ads making junk food fun and cool. Although I have a strict policy against junk cereals in my house ... this doesn't stop my children from asking me for them, especially after seeing enticing ads. |
