Nothing to do with nutrition… however I’m thrilled that at last someone has looked at the subject of the sexualisation of children in the UK. Maybe it’s my age but most of my girlfriends with children are horrified at the amount of sex young children are witnessing. To me popgroups like the Pussycat Dolls, dressed I might add like hookers should not be paraded around as the norm for a 6 yr old girl to aspire to. Add on top of that the videos of Lady GaGa, Rhianna, Jayzee etc etc and they are witnessing images they should not be seeing yet. These artists are fine for older children but having watched some of these videos, the lyrics and images are just sick. Lady GaGa dressing herself in pearls… we know what that really means… Let’s hope for strict government watersheds and controls as to what children watch. My only gripe with this is why was it not done sooner.
I completely agree, although not directly linked to Nutrition it is paramount to the health and well-being of all young people. Having recently discussed this with a friend whose take was ‘that’s the world we live in, so what can we do?’ I too am heartened to see this issue is being raised at a governmental level!
I think thats a very negative attitude and the sort of attitude where nothing will change. There is so much we can do – its not the world we live in if we choose not to – as far as I can see we still do have choices about what we do. People generally can be very lazy and not bother about things until it is too late. If anything is done about this, it will be well over due. Thanks for your comments!
