Television,cartoon,junk food and children

You can not solely blame junk food and TV for the fact that your kid weighs more than 3 adults. You blame yourself. You bought the food. You bought the TV. You didn't make your kid get physical. You also can't pin the blame only on junk food. The whole reason people get fat is because they take in more calories than they burn. You can eat dozens and dozens of apples every day and sit on your butt and watch TV and pretty soon, your butt will be bigger than the couch.

my children are all teens now and they usually eat popcorns or cup cakes while watching tv. not much on junk food. sometimes fruits. even when they are younger they dont eat much of junk food. the other day i bought some sunflower seeds and that is what they are munching while they are all watching tv. glad that i have no problem with them when it somes to junk foods. welcome to mylot alpha hope you like it here like most of us do

I stopped buying lots of chips and other junk food to get my sons to eat better. They are not picky eaters but they do like their sweets. I allow them each to pick one junk food item for the week and that is all their allowed. I don't mind too much what they are watchign as long as there homework and chores are completed it dosent bother me when they watch tv.
