Bad commercials make bad kids

If any of you have seen the commercial for pediasure then you have all heard the child saying " I don't like chicken, I don't like green beans..... ect . It  wasn't  until I heard my own 3 year old saying the same phrase just minutes after the commercial aired when I became furiouse!!!! Do companys really think that by inticing my child to wage a food war with me that I will give in an buy a $7.99 4pack of pediasure. NO.  I just calmly explained that if she dosn't eat her food,  the trash can will. after wathching her fruit loops go bye bye she changed her tune. I hope pediasure does too.

I thought pediasure was supposed to be helping children eat well, not turn them against eating at all.

if you got rid of your television (easier said than done!) then you wouldn't have to suffer through all the advertising, brainwashing and garbage that mass media and large corporations cram into your head on a daily, no wait hourly, now wait, every few minutes basis!

we got rid of out television about a year ago and there's just no looking back, life is so much better when YOU decide what gets into your head (and your kid's head).

totally agree, no fortified drink can replace eating wholesome foods

i love pbs, because the kids get good cartoons and no commercials!

PBS KIDS is the very thing I grew up on so its comforting to know that my kid is getting the same educational entertainment that I got to enjoy!!!
