Sad truth about how kids are growing up today!

Have you ever sat in a fast food restaurant trying to catch a quick bite for lunch during your tight lunch hour with the place all crowded with hungry luncheons and not forgetting wailing little babies or kids scrambling noisily all over their young mum or dad for their food? Do you see anything wrong with this scenario? If you can't find anything wrong with this, you are fitting into the right candidate to spoil your future or current children with bad eating habits and helping to further promote towards overall unhealthy lifestyle for your kids.

I feel sadden and almost helpless to see this poor little babies, some are hardly a year old and young children being fed with high sodium, high fat and oil, all sorts of MSG and God knows what 'healthy' fast food ingredients  for lunch, dinner or probably even breakfast. Things have taken a huge change from how we used to eat and the kind of food our mums used to feed us when we were a toddler and just a kid. I cannot remember being fed junk food or eating fried food only ration when I was growing up except for just a once in a blue moon kind of thing.

Parents have to be particular about their children food intake and the type of food that the children are taking in because as we all should know children is constantly growing. Their brain cells are growing by the hour perhaps , of course I'm no doctor to prove that statement. However, it is most important for parents to really take care after their children diet. Their little bodies need to have the right amount of nutrients, vitamins, antibodies and etc to help in their growth. If most parents are taking this food issues lightly and have little knowledge on feeding the proper food for their children, then they have to be ready for the worse once the children gets older.

Children with bad eating habits are most susceptible to growing up being unhealthy with complications probably like obesity, diabetic, hyperactive,slow in learning and malnourished too. Of course there are other factors that influenced a kid's overall health but the one described are some of the common issues we are seeing more and more today. So the whole point here is if you love your kids so much, don't you ever dare to be lazy and feed them that super salty,fatty fries and burgers with an extra large coke.

The way you are taking care after these little ones are going to determine on how and what they are going to grow up to be. Lastly, some people just gravely in need to go for some parenting education to knock some proper parental senses and knowledge into their heads. I am not a mum and no I don't have a little toddler to raise, but I do know a thing or two about what's best and what's not for these little ones. For all the little children out there, good luck kiddos!
