Submission Text
Parents need to take a more active part in their childrens diets. Government involvement is not going to change bad choices made by parents in teaching and feeding their children. When we decide to be less weak minded in our approach to the advertising we see, and more proactive in our decision making we succeed in correcting problems. Children have been enticed by advertisements for ages, parents used to use them as learning tools...parents today need to take the same responsibility and quit relying on the government.
