TOXIC OVERLOAD, ARE ONLY PARENTS RESPONSIBLE?

As a busy mother I understand how difficult it can be to ensure healthy choices are made for our children. These choices for our children do not get any easier when Olympic Champions, such as Michael Phelps endorses a cereal such as Frosted Flakes.

Now some may say, as a parent, I need to watch what my child eats, restrict their viewing of TV and encourage positive friends and please note, I couldn't agree with them more. Although, it does get difficult when the good programs promote wrong choices, my natural product may not really be natural, my organic food may not always be organic and that healthy vegetable may be genetically engineered. Oh, and I forgot that the toys my baby is not suppose to chew on may contain lead and the plastic surrounding their yogurt may be a carcinogen.

There is a great deal we have to look out for as a parent. I wonder when these large companies like Johnson and Johnson, Kellogg's and our Government will hold more accountability for a healthy child? or is it solely the responsibility of a parent?

I couldn't agree more! The

I couldn't agree more! The ads for Sunny D, pizza pockets directly geared towards children. I think as parents we must be more aware of what we buy, always look at the labels! There are so many dangerous presevatives, extra sugar, tons of salt. Let's get back to the basics and eat as natural as possible. The companies should be held somewhat responsible for these ads but if parents start reading the labels maybe the sales of these products would slow and give a clear message to the companies that it is not ok to market unhealthy products to children!
