Successful People Don’t Feed Their Kids Honey Buns…and Neither Should You! PART III
I have a Part III blog to post but, I wanted to give you some of the facts about kids and our diets.
Just for kicks…maybe you’ll start understanding what’s at stake…we’re not just typing this ISH for no reason.
Diet and Learning Disabilities
Kids with bad diets (and ours are very bad) that include little to no fruits and vegetables, high sugar, high processed food (honey buns, luncheon meat, hot dogs, chips, etc.), food that turn into sugar (sometimes they call them simple carbohydrates and they are white bread/potatoes/white rice), high fat, and high sodium have a bigger chance of having a learning disability and behavior problems.
- Kids do not “outgrow” learning disabilities.
- Kids with learning disabilities are more likely to use drugs and alcohol and go to prison in their lifetime if they are not supported and treated early.
- Kids with learning disabilities usually get less of an education and are at greater risk for dropping out of school which means high likelihood of living in poverty.
Most of this can be AVOIDED and handled if you just eat a better diet while pregnant and watched their diets as good as possible…specially their first 5 years!
Diet and Obesity and Weight Problems
- Black girls are most affected by obesity than any other group.
- The highest group of children getting diabetes type 2, which used to be a disease of adults, are all obese, and the majority are black.
- 12 percent of White children are obese compared to about 21 percent of Black children. But, Blacks only make up 10 percent of the population.
- Obese and overweight children are more likely to get Asthma and children with asthma are more likely to have behavior problems and problems concentrating in school.
- Obese kids are more likely to get gallstones.
- Obese kids are more likely to get Heart Disease and/or have a stroke by the time they are 35 and have High Blood Pressure.
- Young girls that are overweight or obese are more likely to develop their periods early and have problems with their periods throughout their entire lives.
- Overweight and obese girls are more likely to start having sex early, have sex with a lot more boys and have more unprotected sex than other teens.
Now on top of all the bullshit that your child will deal with in his/her lifetime just by being black or Lation, you wanna throw this on their lap because you can’t learn how to work with your budget and feed him/her what he/she need?
Real Talk?
Stay tune for my next blog post on this series where I share how I became a “hood” expert on this topic. And I promise…I am going to get to some solutions and things for you to learn so you know what to do…because that’s what we at Urban Bailout are all about!
