Take what kids are being served in the schools for example as well. A lot of schools have access to vending machines and they drink waaaay too many sodas.
Fortunately a lot of schools are becoming more proactive and taking out soda machines and the junk food out and serving healthier alternatives. A lot of parents are trying to get schools to change and to also serve healthier lunches too.
But I remember going to school and having Pizza, Hamburgers, French Fries, Hot Dogs, etc for lunch. So I think its a good thing parents are stepping up and saying something.
Also I say, Good For you, Cristina for being proactive and making sure your kids ate healthy. I agree, a lot of parents do reward their kids with junk food, not all though, and more and more are becoming health concious. I am glad to see that our friends make an active effort to not do that and their kids actually LIKE fruits and veggies and prefer them over junk food!
