Do parents know what good nutrition is?

Do parents already know what's healthy in terms of nutrition and exercise?

you know what else was a waste of money? putting anything other than MacNCheese, rice, cheese, or apple in front of my oldest son between the ages of 3-4.

parents know their kids better than government. yay, put out a promo video. but coercion? GFY, nannystate.

you are doing better tjan me. all i can get my kid to eat is pizza bites.

Sent from my YP-G1 using Tapatalk. My YP-G1 is a very nice device that hardly ever explodes or shoots jets of burning acid at my face. Samsung has done a good job in that respect in building it. However one has to consider hamsters in regard to android as cyborg hamsters are very cool. Imagine how fast an Android hamster could run in their exercise wheel for example.
 
Michelle Obama recently said:

Do we need to spend money teaching parents about healthy eating and exercise habits? Or do you believe most parents already know this (even if they don't encourage a healthy diet/exercise routine for their children)?

Yes, spending money teaching parents/children about healthy habits would be a good investment. I don't think that most people already know this. Sure, everyone has a vague idea that they should probably get more exercise and eat less McDonald's...but beyond that I don't think most people have a clue. I think that helping people live healthier lifestyles would pay for itself many times over, in terms of the money our nation would save on health care.
 
The above is even more healthy than what most parents pass off as a diet for their kids. I'm going to hate the day my kid goes to school cause then I'll have to hear about happy meals and other nasty **** that I refuse to have in my house.

It is all about moderation and taking your kids to Mickey D's to play on the play ground and eating a happy meal a few times a year is not gonna harm them. Keep in mind that happy meals now come with milk and fruit.
