The other day my family and I were out to eat. We sat down next to a family of five (mom, dad, three kids). The parents were very overweight. The children were well on their way and were obviously heavy for their age and size. What suprised me the most was the the parents were letting the kids drink pop. I mean, these kids are no older than 7 or 8. The kids even ordered off of the adult menus. Are you kidding me? I feel so sorry for these children because they don't stand a chance in this world. I wanted to go scream in their parents face for not caring enough about what type of food goes into their children's bodies. It was obvious that they were not just splurging because they were out at a resturant either. How are these children ever going to learn healthy eating and lifestyle choices if their parents dont care enough about it to teach them. It's a really sad cycle of unhealthy habits being passed down from generation to generation.
