That's a good question. In fast food restaurants blame the epidemic of childhood obesity? Does this toy in a child's food make them gain weight? I think we should consider this issue rationally.
How a game with an error ends with our children. : If we can blame someone else for what is wrong, then we can free ourselves. I include myself in it, there are many problems in which I am guilty of the same. However, it is not going to turn this epidemic. Guilt is what my mother calls the "word." It may make you feel better, but it is absolutely useless.
This is our job : Can schools, restaurants and the rest of society help in this area? Absolutely. Is it their responsibility? No. No, this is my work and your work. The task of the parent is to educate their children regarding good nutrition, the need for exercise, etc.
It will not be easy, we have a big competition for their attention. 300 channels on TV, computers, game stations and other things take time when they can be out of the game (which means getting some exercise). If all the adults in your family are working, planning, buying and preparing nutritious food, you are going to get rid of what precious time you have and after work. Again, I do not think that parenting has never been easy.
Reading the reading menu A: Small children will not understand about the menu, so you will have to do it for them. Fortunately, many fast food chains offer a healthy choice for their young customers. However, once they are large enough to look at adult menus with intent, it is time to provide them with nutritional information.
Although this information should be displayed in the restaurants of the chain, most of the time at the fast food place is on the wall and in type 2 font. However, this information is also often found on the corporate website. Show your child calories, fat / sodium / cholesterol, etc. Then explain what that means in terms of what they can eat for the next two days ... one fast food hamburger often uses up to two days of fat and at least one and part of sodium.
Vote with your wallet : Fast food restaurants in business make money. If you don't buy it, they will stop doing it. Reward restaurants that offer healthy food on their menus by shopping there and buying food. This will encourage them to find healthier items to add to the menu.
Childhood tuberculosis is such a big problem, now it is considered a threat to national security. While our society must do everything possible to help us, in fact, our work as parents is to solve this problem.
