Taking a preschooler and a toddler grocery shopping can be harrowing at times. It is me or is marketing junk food to kids becoming even more aggressive. Do "fruit" snacks really need to be shaped into every possible preschool marketing success story to make them more attractive to children? Isn't it enough that they are fruity flavored and loaded with sugar? Here is a partial list of the food that Christina tried with various levels of success to sneak into my grocery bask this morning:
1. Two boxes of sugar cookies
2. Muffins
3. A half watermelon cut in an interesting way
4. "jelly beans"
5. Post Honeycomb cereal
6. Fruit Loops
7. Nibs
8. Strawberry whoppers
9. Two packages of mini donuts, chocolate and crumb
10. Dora AND Blues Clues yogurt
11. Ice Cream
12. Ice Cream Treats
13. Ding Dongs
14. Pizza
and oh yes 15. Candy from the checkout strategically placed in prime "I want it territory"
