Exactly why we don't watch television. My children are learning to think

for themselves, to see advertising for what it is. Funny, I read somewhere

that pet food commercials talk about the vitamins and minerals for good

teeth and a healthy coat. Ads for kiddie foods (plastic chemical imitation

foods) talk about shapes and colors and sizes. Since parents are the ones

buying these advertised products, does it mean they care more about their

pets' health than their kids' health? Perhaps the kids are pushing mom and

dad to buy the junk, since these ads are often aimed at them. It makes you

wonder though.
