Take a moment next time you go to the store and look at the kind of products parents have available for kids. All super processed sugary colorful crap. Add some effective advertising, parents that are giving in to the kids request out of exhaustion, the kid gets hooked on the super sugary thing and wants it more, so next time they’ll whine even more, and the ball grows to a cart full of plasticky colorful sugary things. Some parents are better than others, usually if you see TV dinners you’ll see garbage food. But even the good ones that get some spinach or stuff to cook with your own hands cave in and buy some kid oriented sweet thing. And I know it’s hard, my girlfriends 11yo stepbrother stayed with us for two weeks and all he wanted to eat were Takis and ice cream. They also get creative with how they eat to always leave room for the crappy food, so you can’t really fill them up with salad to avoid it. Kids are tough on their own, but the market of food tailored for them is made for making money at the expense of addiction and obesity.
