I see a lot of candies and treats for kids these days that tout on their packaging that theyre made with real fruit flavoring or real fruit juices. You know what else is made with real fruit juices and flavoring. Real damn fruit! Stop shoving Motts gummies in your kids face and give him a freaking apple. When I was a kid, candy tasted like candy. And if it was flavored like a fruit, it never boasted that it used real fruit flavoring, because at that point it seems like we knew that if real fruit flavoring was so good, wed just eat some real damn fruit. And the morbidly obese parents who shovel naturally flavored or whole foods snacks down their fat little kids gullets and say At least its healthy for them. You know whats really healthy for a kid, NOT teaching them to use food as a coping mechanism. Kids bored, nibble on some Cheerios. Kids crying, give it some candy. Kid gets cranky cause it missed nap time, give it some chocolate. How do you expect to answer all of its emotional needs with junk food (and I dont care if it is all natural or any other such nonsense, if its not serving solely to sustain base nutritional needs, its junk) then not expect the child to do the same thing on its own when they grow up. Then they become the same amorphous blobs as their parents.
