As adults we should all be intelligent enough to know the difference between what is really healthy and what is disguised as healthy. A trip to the grocery store yesterday sparked something in me and I just can't get it off my mind. JUNK food DISGUISED AS HEALTHY FOOD, especially with Snacks and food geared towards children. While in the dairy dept I couldn't help but her this little girl screaming " MOMMY, I WANT THE ONE'S WITH THE M&M'S" I looked over to discover she was talking about yogurt that had a separate little container attached to the top containing M&M's. REALLY! M&M's?! Then the mother asked the kids, "Would ya'll like to have some of the yogurts with the crushed Oreo's also?" I just shook my head and thought, lady why didn't you just buy them some Little Debbie snack cakes instead. Manufactures package this food to appeal to children, and parents I'm finding are too lazy to even look at the label and find out for themselves that IT'S NOT HEALTHY! IT'S JUNK!

I really hate the thought that if I pick up a treat for him, some self-righteous woman next to me in a supermarket is automatically labeling me a lazy parent. Just a thought.

On the other hand, I couldn't give a rat's patootie what anyone thinks about the contents of my cart.

Such negativity for her thoughts...

I probably would have initially thought the same that they are giving in and buying junk food for a kid but if that's the way to get a picky eater to eat yogurt then sure go for it. I think it's also better than buying a full bag of m&m's at the checkout stand.

I judge people's carts. I judged when I was overweight. I judged when I was doing my crazy couponing days. I know I'm almost always judged in return. It just human nature to see where we rank amongst our neighbors. It's the whole keeping up with the jones' attitude. I'm not passing judgement here (lol) but let's have some tolerance amongst us.
