One of my favorite topics to write about is how we, meaning parents, teachers, coaches, camp counselors etc., contradict ourselves and send mixed messages to kids all the time regarding health and making healthy choices.
Here is a story about my husband’s very recent trip to the grocery store:
He was at Safeway getting ready for our camping trip. He is
behind a woman in the 15 items or less line, annoyed because she has more than
15 items.
Now he starts observing the contents of her cart and I quote: “I have
never seen so much %$*# in one person’s cart. There were chips and sodas and
every kind of candy you could think of”.
As the woman was
paying for her cart full of junk food, the Safeway employee said to her “Wow,
you have lost a lot of weight, haven’t
you.”
The woman replied, “I have lost over 100 pounds. These are
snacks for my kids. We are going on a long car ride.”
Need I say more?
