to think no child eats any more veg because of the "Eat Them to Defeat Them" ads?

does anyone have or know any children inspired to eat vegetables by making them out to be evil enemies?

I don't. I wouldn't say that I know children who have stopped eating veg because of these ads, but I certainly know children utterly bewildered and confused by them and questioning their veg eating.

I cant even make out who is behind this? Is it supermarkets? Or tv companies? I hope it isn't taxpayers!

I just find it weird

Actually my two (4 and 6 at the time) did really get on board with it last year. They got a pack with stickers to use once a veg had been defeated and it did motivate them to do so, they enjoyed the whole thing.

well, that is good to hear - I still feel that a little bit of real information at a child appropriate level would have been a lot more effective as a message
