Parents against organized, processed food media

I'd venture to say that one of the hardest challenges parents of small children (and teenagers as well) face is to try and get their kids eating and drinking healthy products. The constant barrage of TV advertising around junk food and fast food along with the "toys" that come in fast food meals are incredibly hard to overcome for any parent.After all, marketers will do anything to sell more product, even if it means poisoning kids in the process. Ever seen a normal child drink a soft drink at 9pm at night?That's a study in blood glucose if anything is.
Even though it's hard to combat the crappy foods that almost all kids seem to eat these days, ensuring your child receives doses of whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables and decent sources of calcium (hint: more than from dairy) is about as good a duty as parents as there ever was.
