http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...ALTH&ICL=TOPART What do you think? Personally, I think it's pretty frightening that instead of bringing up a child to eat healthily and exercise more, they could end up being fed hormones so that nobody has to bother with basic healthy living. Don't worry if Little Johnny is obsessed with his XBOX and never plays outside - we fed him hormones as a baby so he'll never get fat!

What are those long curly chicken-like products they serve in schools in the UK? Anyhow... they should just put the hormones in those horrid things. |

Long curly chicken like products? Absolutely no idea what you're talking about - but sounds gross. |

If Scotland banned it, it must either be wonderful food, or a culinary abortion bordering on crime against humanity. |

Yep - few things worse than mechanically reclaimed meat. I would rather give my child a pint of Guinness than give them one turkey twizzler. |

Up until a few years ago, these were a regular (and some sister products) on the school lunch menu. Lazy parents, lazy schools.... it's the reason for obesity in children... doctoring formula will only premote this lazy thinking. |

This is disturbing. I'm not a proponent of formula to begin with, but trying to tempt people into thinking that their babies will be obese if they don't give them this formula is disgusting. While that might not be the intent of their advertising, that is certainly how some people are going to look at it. Look at vitamin D - doctors issued a statement saying breastfed babies needed to be supplemented with vitamin D, and my sister actually used that as a reason to formula feed, citing breastmilk was low in vitamin D. Teaching your child healthy eating habits isn't difficult. When my son wants a snack, he asks for an apple, or baby carrots, or cheese, or dried mango strips, etc. because that is what he's always had as snacks. It isn't rocket science. |

Just think of all the lazy shitty parents who think that because the kid isn't actually going to get fat, they can feed them cheap junk food. Because fat = unhealthy, right? Nutrition no longer matters. |

As Corel said.... Once you have succeeded at raising a child who actually makes good choices by spending a few of the formitive years making it a priority, you begin to understand just what lazy failures "some other" parents actually are. Sad it has to be at the expense of the child's health. |

Indeed, baby and toddler brains are maleable little pieces of goo. You can tell them anything is good, and they'll buy it. I love mandarin oranges, because those are seen as a treat. Just like raw veggies with dip - that's a big "treat" in our house. Raisins are also a treat. Avocado - BIG TREAT because he associates it with sushi. I had to stop watching that UK show that took kids living in unhealthy situations and showed their parents what they would look like when they were 40...it was too disgusting. I was glad that these parents were trying to change, but just watching how pathetic they were at first..."Oh, we just can't stop him from eating unhealthily..." when in reality, it was the parents who didn't want to change THEIR eating habits. |
