The lure of junk food on our children
🍔🍟🍕🌭🧀
Nothing is more addictive and seductive to our children than fast food, and sugary treats. The younger they are targeted and marketed, the better it is, as far as the fast food industry is concerned.
As parents and carers etc, it is our duty to try to lure them away from this type of culture, and educate them as to the harmful effects of consuming this type of food.
If we can catch them at a young age, we have a better chance of competing with the fast food giants.
Easier said than done, but with constant reinforcement of the negative effects of food which is calorie loaded, with no nutritional value, we do stand a chance of fighting and winning this battle.
If we can introduce our offspring to as much wholesome, basic food with a good variety of proteins, good fats and complex carbohydrates, including fruit and vegetables, whilst at the same time , explaining to them, once they are able to understand, that a healthy diet can help them improve their mental as well as physical welllbeing, meaning that they will be mentally alert enough to perform better with their studies, and also protecting them against depression and fatigue, on the mental health spectrum, and obesity and it's horrendous consequences, on the physical side.
As we know, these issues are very much in the media currently, due to the escalation of mental health problems, depression and anxiety, as well as obesity, amongst the younger generation. Junk food, is one of the significant culprits of this social catastrophe.
