[Vision2020] Hot Dogs, Pizza, and Nachos, MSDs Meal Plans

[Donovan Arnold]

Areaperson says;
   
  "So what's better? The kid picking the "junk" food over the healthy
food, or the kid not eating at all and the icky vegetables going in the
trash?"
   
  So you let your children eat whatever they want?
   
  What's better is to teach children healthy eating habits rather then letting 2/3 of them have whatever they want and grow up to be obese thinking McDonald's everyday is OK. 
   
  Caving into every screaming demand of a whining brat rather than teaching them what is right and wrong is a serious child abuse problem in this country. Who is in charge, the adult or the child? Schools should not even be offering this junk except for maybe once a week. People crave what they grow up eating. This is very dangerous what we are teaching kids is food. It isn't food, it is junk. 
   
  Best,

"Saying that giving children a choice between junk food and healthy food
and being surprised why the child always picks the junk food seems like
a cop out. "Like WOW, the six yer old chose the pizza over the mixed
vegetables!" Of course children need to be taught and guided away from
junk food."

So what's better? The kid picking the "junk" food over the healthy
food, or the kid not eating at all and the icky vegetables going in the
trash?
