Junk food affects childrens learning

I saw the article. I do not know if that has something to with learning but it has a role in providing good health. I do buy cakes and small snacks for my son in the evening but not all days. Lunch and dinner are always cooked by me. Only exception may be a meal or two on weekends. I take care that way as my husband has diabetes and so prevention is better than cure. I do include fresh fruits and vegetables. My son loves to eat boiled eggs but I restrict them to two or three a week.

YEs i agree with the statement dear i mean at such a young age u cant feed a child just fat junk. I mean at this age thier body is developing and so is thier mind and they need the right food for the right part which can be catered by a proper balanced diet nly I highly recomment balance diet both for kids nd asults after all we all know how harmful and fattening fast foods are try to avoid them as far as possible

I disagree with this statement. Why do I? Well, I have always fed my kids a healthy diet. I have gone out of my way to to cook from scratch, give plenty of vegetables, fruits and other healthy stuff for meals. Guess what!!! None of my kids do that great in school. My teen hates school...always has..his grades suck..always has. My middle son does good ina couple subjects but sucks and failing in reading. My daughter is even worse in all her stuff. She only has a 1st grade reading level. she is eight years old. I don't buy process foods if I can help it. I don't drown them with fast food or sugary snacks.

Thank you for sharing the informative articles about junk food affects children’s learning. You are so kind to provide the link here. I had read the articles in that site. Yeah, it’s nice to let moms learn more about this so we could avoid to let our kids especially those who are between the ages of 6 to 10 to take too much those, what we call the “junk style’ diet”, like French fries, ice cream, crisps and those which are mentioned in the article. This information could help parents to take good care of their kids to avoid taking junk food that might affect the learning of the young generation. Yeah, it’s nice that if we could try our best to spend some times to prepare healthy and nutritious meals (recipes from the mentioned site) for our kid and hope that they would develop into healthy, clever and intelligent kids. posting and have a nice day.

I haven't read the article yet, but just based on what you included in your post here, I'll respond. I don't really agree with this. My mom cooked from scratch a lot of times, but she fried almost everything. She also used over processed things like hamburger helper a lot. We only ate white bread. We ate a lot of chips and cookies. In second grade, I was the only one from my whole grade level to make it into the gifted program. My sisters both did really well in school, too. My older sister was valedictorian in her class.
