I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Notice a few comments elsewhere about how skinny people on TV in that period looked. Yet, many, if not most, of the products available then are still on the market today. Even the really bad ones like.. Coke or Captain Crunch or.. ice cream!
If kids, and people in general, are suffering from too much sugar the blame falls squarely on their own shoulders. If you are so lazy that the only food bought is heavily processed, then yes, your daily intake of sugar, fats and calories will be quite high. Not giving your kids juice boxes thrice times daily will go a long way too, but you may need to listen to them whine about having to drink.. water.

I take it very seriously, which is why I describe my diet as "eating defensively." Food in America can be fast, cheap, and convenient, or it can be healthy. The "healthy" options cost twice as much at any fast food restaurant (not to mention the amount of sugar and fat hiding in your salad dressing). I just wish it weren't like this in America.
