onlinemoneyjourney Hi. It is always tough to move away from your comfort zone. Two years ago my husband and I moved us and our 3 kids thousands of miles away to a different country. We have no family here but we have at least made a few good friends. I understand how you feel...

It's a fact that children are getting fatter and fatter. Diet and lack of exercise play a huge role in this. Children today are given too many treats and spend too much time in front of the television or computer. In my...

onlinemoneyjourney Yes danrunsfast I know that it is so true that quick-fix meals are the cheaper option. Why do think that is? There are warnings in all types of media about the risks of obesity and being overweight yet we pay dearly for healthy foods. It should not be that way...

onlinemoneyjourney You are brave asking the mother why she allowed her daughter to get fat. More so, I am surprised she replied. My experience is that most parents are very defensive when it comes to the weight of their children. In addition, I cannot believe the mother replied...

onlinemoneyjourney Yes it is that simple. Why don't parents get it? I know what you mean about mentioning their kid's weight to the parents - they get so defensive. It's not our place to say anything but if, like me, you see it as a form of child abuse/negligence then surely we...

onlinemoneyjourney I never knew that about salt. That's crazy insane. At least I am not a salt lover but it's good to know. Thanks.

onlinemoneyjourney You are right soybean - calories in must never be more than calories burned. If that is the case then you will gain weight. I also think the Nintendo Wii it is a good alternative for children but nothing beats the fresh air. With all the security issues people...

onlinemoneyjourney Oh boy you are so right karthick: people are way too bothered with money. Way back when, women stayed home and prepared fabulous meals for their families. And yes I know, nowadays it is almost impossible for one parent to stay home. DO you not think that when...

onlinemoneyjourney It must be tough watching these little bodies run riot in the store and there is not a thing you can do about it. I am starting to think that the parents need the education because they are the root of the problem. Running in the store is possibly the only...

onlinemoneyjourney Surfette, thanks for the useful post. Wish parents could read this and learn. Thinking ahead is the name of the weight game. Simple things like do a meal menu for the week, creating a shopping list and sticking to it are already a step in the right direction....

onlinemoneyjourney The photo associated with your post is shocking - to say the least. How can you watch your children grow to that size? And I am purely assuming they have no medical conditions... A picture says more than a thousand words. Good ole McD!!!

onlinemoneyjourney Yes. Yes. Yes. Why do parents not see this?? The risks of over-indulging are huge. As you mention, the social impact it has on the child. A guy once told me, he was an overweight child, "No one wants to play with the fat kid!". Children can be cruel and...

onlinemoneyjourney Wow - charged with negligence? That's a breakthrough! It pleases me when the legal system actually works. I do see it as a form of child abuse: it is the parents after all who fill the shopping cart with junk! In my eyes fat kids are far from cute. I would...

onlinemoneyjourney Hi lindiebiz. You are correct in attributing obesity to non-activity. Several responses I have had said that it is unsafe in some places for children to play outside. I think in that instance parents should invest in the Nintendo Wii Fit for their children...

onlinemoneyjourney I agree with you deebomb. When I was at school we had physical education in school as well as a health subject. Being a kid though I couldn't influence my parents' decision-making but I did avoid eating all the junk all the time. Children spend so much time at...

Beauty Pageants

onlinemoneyjourney @onlinemoneyjourney (235) • Australia 18 Nov 09

This is a huge market, specifically in the US, where young girls are subjected to beauty pageants. They look like miniature dolls all dressed up, make-up and hair perfect, strutting their stuff on the stage. However, behind every...

onlinemoneyjourney Thanks maezee. Very insightful response. To a point some of these girls have been brainwashed into believing that this is what life is about. Beauty becomes the focal point of their lives. Now when puberty hits, the pimples start appearing, the hips extend a...
