The Holistic Children’s Author Who Is On A Mission To Save Our Children
Children today are bombarded with so much harmful advertising through television, magazines, movies, billboards, and even books.
As any parent knows, children are like sponges, and subtle messages can impact a child’s self esteem and beliefs far too easily. Quite literally, they believe nearly everything they see and read, and this undeveloped critical thinking ability can be exploited to further any number of agendas. Constant advertising of unhealthy foods, medications, and the latest gadgets and toys doesn’t do our children any good at all. In fact, there is evidence to show that it is most definitely harming them. To learn more about this trend, you may want to read the following article: 7 Highly Disturbing Trends in Junk Food Advertising to Children. Just look at how many obese and overweight children there are today and how many of them don’t make the connection between what they are eating and the state of their health.
They have been conned into thinking that junk food makes up a large part of a normal, healthy diet. Many children also lack the ability to identify common fruits and vegetables, and certainly don’t understand the connection between eating these things and having a healthy body. Nor do they know that a healthy body is one which does not get sick often, is (generally) within a normal weight range, and maintains stable moods. Kids are often prone to ADD or ADHD these days and for many, it can be triggered by too much sugar and too many chemicals added to these foods.

Then, without the correct guidance from parents, they are more likely to grow up and take a pill for every ill, instead of understanding how to achieve holistic health.
They will be more likely to grow up giving the responsibility for their own health to others — namely doctors and drug companies — who do not treat people in a way that decreases the need for their services. Vegetarian Muscles debunks the myth that vegetarians are weak and also gives children great reasons to be vegetarian, including environmental and health reasons We must ask ourselves, do we really want our kids to end up on medication from a young age, which will generally mean they are on them for life? Do we really want our kids to suffer from diabetes or depression and other generally food related illnesses because we didn’t instill these good messages when they were young? Sure, it must be said that it’s also the parents’ responsibility to keep their children healthy, and they indeed need education too, but we also need to focus on our children and encourage them to develop a broader understanding about health and good living.

If we collectively stop buying their unhealthy foods and products, these companies will collapse (hence the extreme and incessant advertisements we see everywhere). But they won’t go down without a fight. So what can we do about this? Well, we can start by educating ourselves and our children.
