This is Wayne's World

Well, why should you?

We all know sweets are bad for and cause nasties like….
Tooth decay and cavities.
Illness’ like Diabetes.
Getting fat which can lead to bullying.
Worse still, obesity.
And we do have a problem in the West. A fat kid problem that’s becoming more and more obvious.

But let’s see things from a different perspective….

My perspective…
Eating sweets won’t make you fat or unhealthy. Eating crisps and drinking fizzy pop won’t make you fat or unhealthy. Imagine. That would mean everyone in the civilised world would be fat and unhealthy. Living and promoting an unhealthy lifestyle will make you fat and unhealthy and there’s the difference. I eat sweets, I drink beer, I eat cakes and chocolate and take-aways. My teeth are in good nick and I don’t consider myself unhealthy and I’m certainly not fat. But I do understand what makes a person fit and healthy and although I may not be ready to run a marathon, I’m not about to keel over (touch wood).

The trick is keeping a treat a treat and not letting it turn into what is effectively a bad diet. Or worse. A tool used for pursuation. Something I have been guilty of before but have since learnt the error of my ways.

So why not let children enjoy sweets or a trip to McDonalds? As long as we’re not promoting living unhealthily with it then I say, yes.
Let’s line the pockets of the greedy capitalist clown once in a while. Every other time we’ll have the sweets alternative snack. Fruit. Delicious fruit.

But that’s a different post for a different day…
