I grew up in 60-70's. Mom- stay at home mom, cooked every meal from scratch, no microwave foods, nothing from a box. 1 car/TV/family, no cell phones, computers, social media. Dad-worked & provided. IMO-some parents have become lazy. Both work with the increase of women in workforce with women's lib in 60's. Go to college, get a career, get an abortion, don't get married, who needs men? "I want kids, but I want to work too." Then we had "latch key kids", remember those? Divorces/drug use increased. Now parents go to grocery store & buy "boxes of food" instead of preparing from scratch. My daughter is soooooo guilty of this. Gives her kids I-pads to watch while eating!!! I mentioned it to her & she said "it's easier", I pushed a bit but didn't want to create a rift with my 1 & only daughter back then. Bad, bad, bad habits. Oh & ADHD is a HUUUUUUUUGE problem for past 20-30 years! A lot of it IS from their very poor diet. An RN myself I agree with Carol below. We need an intervention!

We R the intervention. Thank you for sharing.

These poor eating habits are the cause of most illnesses. High sugar diets make the body acidic. Acidic bodies are more prone to illnesses especially Cancer and diabetes. Diabetes leads to cardiovascular disease, retinal issues, circulatory problems, kidney failure. The addition of soda leads to osteoporosis. As an RN I witness the absolute explosion of childhood obesity in my 50 years of nursing. Sadly many of these children have sleep apnea as well, due to the excess weight. Sleep apnea can lead to organ failure and decreased ability to learn due to hypoxia ( low oxygen) affecting the brain. Yet parents purchase high sugar foods like cereals treats, & drinks and then wonder why their kids get sick. 🤔

Quality add. Thank you very much.
