Why would you feed kids sugary cereals?!


Question: I wouldn't. Useless calories and high sugary foods are not worth giving to anyone, unless it's someone you hate.

I try not to whenever possible. I think it's the fact that alot of parents are trying to be their child's friend and give in to what they want, just to make them happy so they don't have to hear them whine. Also, I think it can be a convenience for some parents, to have packaged, sugary cereal - with appealing characters and colors on the boxes. Others want to let their child have ANYTHING they ask for whether or not it's good for them. They do not want to deprive their children. The only thing I want to deprive my kids of is obesity and disease, which is why they eat healthy foods (most of the time). They will understand when they grow up.

dumb question ........becuz it taste good ......why would you feed your kid cereal that tasted like sh*#

Ehh..I don't know, because some parents don't really care about sugar content and the kids like it? I'm 15 and I eat special K. =]

It makes them hyper and they get more active throughout the day. Sugar is their fuel.

Because someone doesnt know any better

It all starts when you're young...(no joke!) It's like an endless cycle, the food company's are all about money. What better way to make money then off little kids who don't know any better? Parents, in a desperate attempt to shut them up about a toy or just the food in general, buy it for them, starting this addiction. The cute characters and free toys in boxes are just adding to the want for the cereal. This also sends a message saying that it's O.K. to eat loads of sugar and crap. Thus starting the cycle of fast foods and endless stashes of candy. But it also depends on the situation. If the parents have no time to make food for they're children, and they can't cook themselves, they get something as simple at cereal. Start them off young and it will become a habit for the rest of their lives. I hope this answers your question!

I dont know. Its unheathy and bad for you. Im 14 and never eaten Coco pops or anything like that just special k and stuff like that.

well, why would you feed them organic mule food?
