"If we start sticking puppies and lions on Kashi and bran,
will our younger generation catch on to a healthier lifestyle?"
With the increase in health awareness lately, it is no wonder that children choose the right snack and actually enjoy them. There are alternatives to almost every snack that have less sugar, less fat, less calories, but more fiber, more vitamins, and more protein.
One vitamin that I take daily is fish oil. The taste of it repulses me, but I know it will keep me healthy and there are many benefits. I take the children's type of fish oil that come in a chewy form. They taste better, and I no longer dread it. Yesterday while I was at work at a local doctor's office, there was literally a boy that threw a tantrum because his mom would not let him have another chewy fish oil because he already had his at breakfast. It could be because the package has brightly colored fish on them or it could also be because they taste so darn good.
If cartoon characters encourage kids to want to eat their healthy food, why would a parent refuse it? It makes their job easier.
