First of all, a toddler doesn't need formula. By the time a child is one year old, they should be getting their nutrients through solid food (eating just about anything an adult eats), and they are able to have regular milk and/or breast milk. If a child doesn't like or can't tolerate milk, there are plenty of other sources for calcium.
What habits are we teaching our children if we are giving them chocolate formula when they are one year old? What are we teaching them if we give up so young on giving them real food and let them drink their nutrients?
wow! unbelievable, this would be the equivalent of me slathering hershey's syrup on my boobies, when i was breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable!!!!! Scary part is people will buy it and think it is healthy!
ReplyDeletethat's just crazy......
ReplyDeleteI know. It's so sick, right? When I heard this on NPR the other day, I almost threw up. It kinda feels like there's no going back. Kids are going to eat trash and companies are raking in profits. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteHorrible!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo irresponsible!
ReplyDeleteWell if we have been giving chocolate milk to pre schoolers and kindergardeners for years, whats the big deal in starting a little earlier??
ReplyDeleteI only give chocolate milk to my kids once in a blue moon, and not pre-packaged.
