Mums resent the junk food advertising debate
Ask mums about the debate to ban junk food advertising during kids’ television shows and the answers may surprise you. You might imagine them to be up in arms in support of it. Rather they become angry about the debate itself.
Overall mums would concur their lives would be somewhat easier without the advertising of unhealthy products to kids. It would mean less nagging and consequently less having to say “no”, which isn’t fun, especially at the end of a long day. But in reality they’re just not that fussed about it. It’s no big deal.
Where do the children play?
The media is often blamed for making our kids lazy and fat. Despite the proliferation of media in our homes the accusation is misplaced.
