DD is a toddler, and like most kids that age just starting to fall in love with various characters on TV and just starting to realise the wonders of sugar in all its glorious forms. AIBU to be pissed off by the annoying (for me at least) incessant combination of the two? Why does it always seem to be unhealthy food that is made to look appealing for kids. Until recently she was happy with plain old Greek yoghurt, but not now she's seen the sugar laden alternatives for kids in the supermarket which are lovely and colourful, or featuring a favourite character. Of course she wants those now and it becomes more and more difficult to give the boring healthy stuff.
I'm not anti sugar, or tv in moderation but it seems daft that our kids face this subliminal pressure from such an early age. I mean why doesn't Peppa pig endorse some Greek yoghurt for a change, or how about a 'bing' bag of carrots? Even without tv tie ins the difference in packaging is huge, just look at coco pops vs alpen. It's so prolific though I feel like I must be one of few who get annoyed?
