//“6 Food Mistakes Parents Make”//
====Children are facing a trouble regarding their diet as time passes by every year. More and more snacks, brownies, twinkies, chips, and jellies have been a major issue regarding an deterioration of children’s health. The following article was written regarding the six food mistakes parents make when raising their children; experts presume to be one of the reasons why children are eating junk food before their dinner, before breakfast, or even at bedtime. Parents, as the experts mention, are giving the children all of their desires because they are afraid they will break the bond between them. If one’s daughter or son asks for a brownie, a typical parent today will give them a brownie or even a snack so their children can be well fed. The experts in the article mention that this is a big mistake because this is what is causing children to actually avoid the food full of nutritions and actually look for the sugar-filled junk foods. This article is relative to my research because it might be a reasoning component to my results. If the children pick the deserts rather than the nutritional food, then it might explain the reason why the children are showing such results in the experiment. The article also serves as a way to help make a hypothesis, predicting that the children will pick the deserts rather than nutritional foods.====

//“Kid Goes Into McDonald’s and Orders...Yogurt?”//
====One of the more interesting articles, the following article was very astonishing because it actually contradicted to the first article I read regarding my experiment. The article states that children are actually purchasing “yogurts” in McDonald’s rather than the typical french fries or hamburgers children used to eat as junk foods in the past. The article states that the popular trends of these unhealthy foods are no more, for the typical “happy meal” has shrunk its popularity by 11%, while the yogurts have rocked by 21%. So what does this mean? This can presumably mean that the children are looking for healthier foods than the junk foods they used to find in the past. This can provide extreme help to my article because it enables us to find an alternative reason, if during the experiment the children pick the food other than the junk food. Even though the article contradicts to the idea mentioned in my other article, it is the opposite themes that makes this experiment more and more interesting.====
