I agree that they don’t understand how incredibly bad that stuff is for their health, however, I think everyone knows that it is bad for them by now. My father raised me on junk food and would occasionally criticize how fat I was from it. But he kept buying it because it was easy. I think you’re a little generous with your description of these parents. Junk food and junk entertainment is like a cheap sedative for children. It gives parents a break from parenting. Turn on a movie or give the kid an iPad and you don’t have to worry about the kid for a few hours. I do think that if money was fixed, people would have more time, energy, and wealth to be better parents.
