Yes. Too many of the current generation have made a habit of eating junk food. Cookies and cakes, and candies, and Coke's, or other soda pop can be had in balance with fruits, juices, water, milk, and vegetables, and numerous protein sources.

Yet many have grown up in the hamburger from” McDonald's” for a very low price, almost daily. They are tasty. Including coca cola's ... the same thing. We most all like these items; but currently for many it is NOT in context of a a balanced diet. And many eating out establishments are too expensive to be a daily meal other than special weekly or monthly occasions.

Usually how each of us were raised is what we know, and what we do on going as well. What children experience is the foundational basis for the rest of their life.

Coupons, and advertising, and children's attractions are all the easy way to go and it becomes a BAD habit to the determent of the children and adults as well.. MM.

Too true. Raised most of my kids when we lived on a farm. They hated it, of course, but they learned how to eat well. Even my youngest (7) still eats so healthy it’s funny. She loves making smoothies and she puts in greens as well as yogurt and tropical fruit—no sugar. We have no soda or koolaide. Only water, tea and rarely milk. I don’t worry about the occasional chicken nuggets, pizza or junk food.
