Parents grab a hold of Responsibility

 Don’t hate the cook; hate the irresponsibility’s of your choice of food. Clearly it has been battled back and forth about kids growing into the obese stage at such a young age and not so many parents find themselves as the blame for this mishap. Three meals should be received each day, but depending on the amount of meal received at that time one or maybe the second meal could be used lightly. I find it very hard to believe that anyone could blame food companies for their burgers being to thick or their fries tasting to salty/greasy, when that same person can cook , the same thing at home. Some parents these days, pay no attention to how much food their child or children may consume. At such a young age it is the parents’ responsibility to determine what their children should eat. I support the case that blaming fast food restaurants for why people’s children are obese or overweight is a complete waste of time. Ask yourself this question, who would win the case based on the obesity of children at a young with a company that has been around for a solid number of years? Most likely the company, it may sound bad but parents hate to admit the fact they are putting their own children’s lives at risk. Moreover, I agree with the author David Zinczenko that suing a company for making kids fat is just like suing any other company for having a great sale on Debbie Cakes and the parent running out to buy them, yet they watch their kids sit there and eat as if they never ate a day before in their lives. Yes I do understand that fast food joints offer lower prices when it comes to food than is usually prepared and ready in less than 10 minutes, but that’s the point of the company. Eating healthy is a much more balanced and affordable route also, some parents may not think it is but eating low-calorie snacks solves the fast-food issue.
