SubscribeHomer Simpson's Diet Criticized
When Homer Simpson sees a piece of cake sitting on the floor, he doesn't throw it in the trash and eat a carrot. Instead Homer licks his lips and says "Mmmmm, floor-cake".
Unfortunately two-thirds of parents responding to a recent survey felt that Homer Simpson promoted an unhealthy lifestyle.
Leave Homer and his rounded figure alone. Blaming something on the TV for your child's behavior is a cop out. Go turn the TV off if it's that much of a problem.
Although it seems that many parents have abdicated authority in their homes:
The poll revealed more than half of parents admitted to succumbing to "pester-power" by buying children their favourite foods.But 57% said they did so because they feared confrontation.
Of course if Homer had a lean muscular frame, then it would be a tad deceptive - but he doesn't.
Is it that we don't like looking at ourselves? Who are the role models in most kids homes? Cartoon characters or their parents?

Green Tea pills does not work for me. My friend had to rely on them every day to be happy, but she also lost 20 pounds or more. They didn't work for me and I was scared to keep taking them because I didn't want to have top rely on them to be happy.
