Re: your reaction to
This.
I guess I see it as two different issues: the one of respecting parents, and the one of junk food and a healthy diet.
There is a HUGE difference between a kid with a healthy diet and occasionally indulges vs someone who’s raised on soda/junk food/etc. I’ve seen effects of both and the latter isn’t pretty at all. And I see it from another parent’s point of view as well–that their kids turned out OK and can feel that their parenting style is being judged/critiqued. But what can you do. In the end, the parent has the child’s best interests at heart and are responsible for their well being.
