Do you think children can practice self-control?????

Adults yes,children no.

Are you kidding?! Kids can't practice self-control? Now I've heard it all...

How about this: where are the kids getting the money to buy junk? Could it be from their helpful, non-disciplinary, parents? Maybe packing his or her lunch and not giving them any cash might help curb this if they have such a "self-control" problem.

Believe me, if they can stay thin till (roughly) juior high, they'll probably stay that way. Not too many people want to date the fat kid, right?

This is nothign but an excuse, anyway--teach your kids to not eat everything they see, have them excercise a little and, voila!, no more epidemic of obesity.

That wasn't so hard, was it?
