The Two Bite Club,” which is available in English and Spanish, is a USDA “educational storybook” about a family of cats that uses government charts to determine its food intake. The story encourages children to try two bites of foods in the USDA’s “My Plate” food diagram. After trying broccoli, yellow apples, low-fat yogurt, and “hard-cooked” eggs, the children in the story get certificates of participation.

Can we just have a single thread for dissing PSAs?

LOL...I've got only one message for the Feds. I'm the grandparent, it's not my job to help raise those grandkids, discipline them or in any other way attempt to usurp the job of my son and DIL. My job is to love them and spoil them!!!!

And I do that one job quite well!.

ps oped: I didn't diss the Feds, they don't need my help to look and sound stupid. Furthermore, contrary to Hillary, it doesn't take a village.

I meant diss public service announcements (poop muppet, two bite club, etc)  

Lots of grandparents are raising kids out there... Fortunately or unfortunately....

Where are the rice crispie treats on the food chart? Where e x a c t l y the bloody hell are they? Defective government doesn't know what they are doing!

Since their favorite foods are blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, chop salad, sushi, sashimi, pad thai, samosas, nut crusted salmon and smoked salmon I think we are doing just fine. 

What do they hate? McDonalds.

Well, the article is pretty dumb, but I do agree that there are much better ways to "spoil" than with sweets and junk food. Fortunately, my parents and inlaws understand that and spoil with hugs and play time.
