Speechless

The fabulous and talented redtango has been doing a series of mocking posts about those terrible women's magazines you see in the grocery store checkout line, like Women's World and First. Today's entry covers "delicious" snacks you can make for your child! Snacks consisting of a "hamburger" made of donuts and candy, or a "hot dog" made of Twinkies and Starburst fruit chews...

It makes my teeth hurt just to think about them! Whatever happened to giving your kid grapes after they get home from school? Or peanut butter toast, or an apple? If this is the kind of stuff people are being encouraged to feed their kids, it's no wonder childhood obesity is so rampant in this country. Good lord!
