Now, I thought on this awhile and I don't think that children really get to choose thiee content from the beginning. We are given a diet by our parents and healthy or unhealthy it does establish a pattern. But we can choose to continue it or break it.

I think it becomes a soul issue when the children get older ... are they more drawn to a healthier lifestyle and for what reasons is often determined by their own self-will.

Sometimes self-will if so strong and the resistance to change is so strong that we will try to change the entire world around us, to avoid changing a small thing within ourselves.

Sound silly?

It's the human condition for the weak in spirit. To try to torment every other healthy eater on the planet into changing to accomadate a few junkies eaters out of control desires... is insanity at best.

But more children will choose to resent the healthy eaters than will decide to change their own diet until they are happy with themselves.

Ultimately the choice of what you consume is in the hands of the consumer.
