A person of very little brain common sense has blamed advertising, children's power and anything else she can think of for the reason kids are so fat today (see related link).
For goodness sake, how about taking responsibility for your own children? If they demand, tell them "no". If they stamp their feet, stamp your own. Kids HAVE to learn, one way or another, otherwise we're just going to become another USA. Fat, fearful and without taking any responsibility for our own actions.

It's time parents took responsibility for their children's health instead of blaming everyone else. Less junk food, more exercise, that's the ticket. No one is forcing you to watch the advertisements on television. If you can't discipline your own kids, then what hope is there for the future? Another USA ruled by fear and blame? Grow up.
