Re: Sugar tax
Regarding parents and parenting – who’s in charge these days? What has happened to parental control? Spot on, Margaret, they should learn to use that word ‘no’ and mean it.
We all know that some companies target young ones with appealing marketing tools such as cartoon characters to sell their less-than-healthy food, after all they will do what they can to sell their goods, that’s what their business is – but it doesn’t mean you have to buy.
It’s the same with other things. There are parents who complain about how much time their children spend on phones, computers, and the like. Who pays for these? The parents! Solution to this is take the gadgets away from the children when they are using them too much. Take control. Spend some time with them. Go outside with them. Don’t continually blame society for what is a parent’s responsibility. Or is that the easy way out….
…and for ‘goodness’ sake (literally) give the family some good wholesome (and, dare I say it, home-cooked) food.
