Kids and candy
An infamous combination. Ever wonder what really draws kids to candy? Obviously it’s the taste and the sugar buzz that keeps them coming back. But what is the initial attraction? It’s as if kids have an innate ability to locate sugar within a one mile radius.
The real question is, do kids really eat all the bizarre and wacky novelty candies on the market today? There are some pretty strange, even borderline gross candies being made today. For example; candy scabs, chocolate or gummi band-aids, and white chocolate maggots. Who actually wants to pretend they’re eating maggots, or scabs? Are these candies made so that kids can pretend they’re on Fear Factor?
And then there are the candies that are not so gross, but still a bit bizarre. Take, for instance, gummi bacon, or how about dog food candy? What exactly do you expect gummi bacon to taste like? It looks like bacon, so shouldn’t it taste like bacon? But it probably doesn’t. And the dog food candy, well let’s just hope it doesn’t taste like dog food.
Kids, until they’re able to pay for their own rent, should appreciate their parents wise words when it comes to candy and sugar-filled snacks.
Balance is the key to anything viable in the universe.
The bulk of candy are only one thing: sugar, thus evading the very concept of balance and inevitably creating issues for those who consume them without proper self-restraint.
Parents and kids should team together in their fight to preserve their health by staying away, whenever possible, from sugar, salt and fat.
