Junk food and children

Children discover themselves in to a complex society that is undergoing incredible changes. Healthy nutritious foods had suddenly replaced by the new food concept - JUNK FOOD! Children suddenly seem to have stepped into a world of fast foods and vending machines, very ignorant of the mess they are creating for themselves. TV commercials and supermarkets are propagating a broad selection of attractive junk foods, attractively packaged and often tagged with a tempting sop. Through it, we have an extremely seductive situation that undermines eating behavior.

Children are more than ever in danger. Poor diets give rise to slow growth, fall down of new the teeth, endorse obesity and lay out the seeds of ill health, which ultimately lead to incurable disease and death. Mostly these junk foods have colors, which are made with colors; those are often poisonous, carcinogenic and bad for the body. Junk food has physiological impacts, which are far reaching, that influence the child's intellect and personalities. Unsurprisingly consuming junk food leads to a sense of hunger, both physically and mentally. There is no better moment than now to ensure a caring environment for the development of the children and supply them a legacy of good health.
