what is wrong with some parents?

Question

i have in mind the parents who are passing chips through school railings where the school has recenly introduced a junk free menu.

Answer 1

I dont have any children but I wish that they would have implemented the healthy eating guidelines when I was in school. I always ate junk food. My mom never bought groceries and we lived off of top ramen and potatos. I am constantly struggling with my weight now that I am an adult and have study nutrition. Parents are still so uneducated about what they feed their kids. They let them load up on crap that they themselves wouldnt eat.

Answer 2

A junk free menu has been introduced because the country is full of fat kids who won't get healthy meals when they get home. This country is living in a lazy, cotton wool culture where everyone expects everything to be done for them and everone else is too afraid to do the right thing as it may infringe on someone's "rights".

This is very true in terms of parenting. Modern parents very often take the easy way out of everything. This means giving their children anything they want for a quiet life. Of course parenting is hard! That is why I've tried very hard not to be one until I'm ready. It is through a wonderful thing called CONTRACEPTION.

If the parents of the said children took the same sense of responsibility with their own lives as I have, not only would half these parents not be parents but the other half would know how to raise children properly.

Sorry if I'm ranting a little. I'm a little hung over and this subject winds me up rotten anyway.

Answer 3

Quite honestly Chips are not a major problem when you think about our society. I send my kids to school with them all the time ! My kids are very healthy and Eat what is considered junk food very rarely, I don't feel my kids should be punished because some parents did not establish good eating habits from birth, My kids eat their Vegies first and prefer them over almost every other type of food, they eat asparagus, Artichokes, Green beand, Fruit on a daily basis, so why when they want a treat like chips or a candy bar should they be forced to abstain when they are well balanced and healthy? They were not raised on Mc Donalds and Burger King, But, now they have to pay for the families whos children were raised that way and became Fat? I don't think so. Eating right has to come from how children are raised Bull **** rules enforced at school will not change the eating habits of a kid who ate nothing but, junk growing up. I would like to know about the parents who no longer believe in disipline though those parents are the ones we should be looking at!

Answer 4

Those parents are bad parents. They are teaching their child that there is no need to follow rules as long as it is not "hurting" any one else. I could care less what the child's eating habits are. They are teaching their child that they can do whatever they want and they can get whatever they want. If they want to feed their child junk food they should do it in their home where they make the rules not at the school that has made it against the rules. These children will be the ones that never truly grow up, will rely on someone (mom, dad, brother, sister) to take care of them and make sure that their needs are met. And when eventually there is no one around to care for them, they will be lost like a child trying to make it on their own in a grown up world. I pitty the child.

Answer 5

It is laziness on the behalf of the parents, it is easier to give them junk that to make a proper meal, and home cooking seems to becoming a thing of the past. I also don't believe it has anything to do with the age of the parents but is the standards of todays living. I was 16 when I had my first child and I prepared proper cooked meals from the moment he could eat, I have had 3 other children since and they have always had a balanced and healthy diet, they love fish, fresh fruit & vegetable, I have never stopped them having junk but they now choose to have the healthy options. My eldest son is now 17 and he is a fantastic cook and I hope my children will pass their healthy lifestyles onto their children.... bring back good old home cooking xxx

Answer 6

As for me I let my daughter eat whatever she wants. She's only 17 months old but if she wants cheetos, she can have them. I don't think that there is anything wrong with giving your child what they want to eat. I think the main reason there is a lot of kids with low self esteem has a lot to do with their parents always telling them to watch their weight or watch what they eat. Just because I let my daughter eat cheetos or candy doesn't mean I'm a good parent. If anything I'm an even better parent because I'm teaching my daughter that no matter what she is beatiful and that she should love herself no matter how skinny or fat she is. And just because someone can eat chips or candy or anything that's labeled as JUNK FOOD doesnt mean that they are or will get unhealthy! Now my question is what's wrong with parents that are always trying to cause their children to get low self esteem!

Answer 7

The school is an educational system. If it would just stick to the fundamentals of education it would be doing well. Having gone to college with future teachers I can honestly say they have no right restricting diet for anyone. A learning facility is not to be used for a social gathering but as an institute for an education. Please get back to an education. Parents that love their children will attempt to make their children happy. Schools need to realize they are there for one reason and that is to provide an education to it's students, not to lecture on a lifestyle.

Answer 8

We have a society that know very little about what they are doing to this world by encouraging obesity and poor health. Their idea of love is to give endlessly and therefore creating a lazy, weak and poor spoken youth community

Answer 9

If its their kids its fine... if the parents are hussling chips to other students then that might be a problem, especially if they make the kids pay for the chips. I could just imagine LOL.
