“OTTAWA — Dr. David McKeown, Toronto’s medical officer of health, is calling on Canadian politicians to address the country’s growing obesity rate by banning junk food advertising to children under 13.
In an interview with Canwest News Service Sunday, McKeown said it’s important to exert influence on what children are eating because dietary patterns established early in life tend to persist.”
What’s with people? Now we have to legislate diets because parents can’t teach their children healthy habits? It’s a parents responsibility to teach their children a healthy resistance ot low-brow marketing and avertising. The truth is, the marketing doesn’t target kids. It targets a certain type of people who respond by buying, and these kids don’t drive themselves to McDonald’s. Mom or Dad or both are hauling the kids up there, or maybe they’re just bringing it home. Either way, it’s laziness.
And tro try to shove it off on the government to deal with is just another lazy strategy. Handle up and resist the temptation to poison your body and teach your children how to do the same!
