OK, can someone just slap their parents? This is absolutely CRAZY! How about telling the parents YOURE KILLING YOUR KIDS. Stop going through the McDonalds drive-through and cook something NUTRITIOUS at home!!!!

This really pisses me off, let's concentrate on the problem, instead of the symptom. How about we tell the parents the truth, that THEY are doing this to their CHILDREN.

My daughter would eat candy and junk food all day if I let her. BUT I DON'T. Quit tiptoe-ing around the issue...that's the reason there is a problem in the first place. Parents don't want to somehow 'hurt their kids' feelings' by telling them no in the first place.
