^ I think so Dee, but I also think it's the way they're being raised. Look at you & I - we ate at McD's regularly, my fam used to order pizza once a week on top of that, plus snacks, junk food, etc. It wasn't all bad, it's not like we never ate vegetables, but I'm sure we ate crap a lot more than was healthy. And now we're paying for it, I know I've had to literally change the way I eat -and it was NOT easy. Then look at Amber, whose parents did not go the fast food route & focussed more on healthy eating according to her. Things that were common sense to her were not to me as a kid, not until I got older & did research & learned more.

So, yeah I think kids are going to eat more crappily in general. But a kid brought up in a house that has McD's once a week, pizza once a week, Chinese once a week, KFC once a week, doesn't make their own lunch, drinks pop by the gallon, etc. is already automatically at a disadvantage - because they don't know any better. This is how they think it is supposed to be.


BTW - in junior year of high school, I went to BK every.single.day. at lunch & ate a bacon double cheeseburger, large fry & a DIET Coke. I look back on that & pray my heart will forgive me.
