This is not really a question at all. If it is, the answer is YES. Even its really harmful for adults let alone for children.

I do believe that the excessive advertising of unhealthy products is one of the many reasons for childhood obesity. But as a parent I can say that, I know that parents are at fault too. Who buys the food for the obese child? Who allows the child to overeat?

As a parent, I do my best to buy what is healthy for my child. I cook almost everything from scratch. 95% of everything we eat is organic. I serve the appropriate serving to each member of our family and no one gets seconds. Since, I am the one buying the groceries, I don’t waste my money on junk food.

If you don’t buy and have unhealthy foods around the house, the child will not have them to eat. If they are hungry, they will learn to eat vegetables and fruits that you keep available for them.

You ask, what about when I am not at home and are around other people who eat unhealthy food products?

Take yours and your kids healthy snacks everywhere you go! Your family and friends should know how you eat and should respect that. At the same time, don’t be rude to those that don’t realize the importance of eating healthy.
When you eat out, pick the meal that has been less processed.
Talk to your kids continuously about eating correctly and how yes, something might taste good, but that doesn’t mean that it is good for our bodies.

My daughter is almost 4 and she understand the importance of taking care of her body, of eating fruits and vegetables. She knows that water is the best drink for her and that sodas are unhealthy.

Train a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

Train, teach, learn.

I think that the first lady should also aim at making Healthy Organic food more affordable. Some of the reasons why I don’t buy organic chocolate chip cookies verses chips-ahoy or the walmart brand is because of cost. And when I do go to buy something organic I end up paying two times the cost. I don’t want to eat posion, I want healthy organic foods but I don’t have the budget so I try to buy the healthy foods that have the least amount of perservitives and pesticides. Maybe the food industry should also look at what is best for the people and stop feeding us posion, but that isn’t going to happen. The rich will get richer and the poor, poorer and sicker.
