That is something I would have to consider, which is why I love feedback friday.Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-69098444627358837752012-03-02T08:36:42.507-05:002012-03-02T08:36:42.507-05:00Maybe I'm crazy, but I think Snacker and Sweet...Maybe I'm crazy, but I think Snacker and Sweet tooth are kinda cute :) Anyway, in regards to the actual exhibit, I don't think kids really care. Heck, they are at Disney and they when they get to this exhibit, they are just excited that they are blowing up tv's and shooting things regardless of the fact that they are shooting hot dogs with broccoli because it's healtiher! Even if this did register a little bit with the kids ~ when they got home and hotdogs were set on the table I don't think too many kids would say, "hey mom, I can't eat this it's not healthy!" It totally comes down to parenting! Kids can't/won't eat broccoli if they don't have the opportunity! Parenting people! This isn't for Disney (or anyone else) to do for us!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473567562285885265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-34536741976409372482012-03-02T08:35:28.450-05:002012-03-02T08:35:28.450-05:00Nope, not gonna' make a difference other than ...Nope, not gonna' make a difference other than the money that will benefit Disney.<br /><br />While reading your article, "oh great, new names to call the fat people in the world."<br /><br />Yup, it's the parents responsibility.Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00257621749712492798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-79356553920579399972012-03-02T08:23:11.659-05:002012-03-02T08:23:11.659-05:00That is at the core of what I feel - parents make ...That is at the core of what I feel - parents make the decisions for kids (or they should).Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-62438009875294006362012-03-02T08:04:25.231-05:002012-03-02T08:04:25.231-05:00W/out actually seeing the exhibit, I can't com...W/out actually seeing the exhibit, I can't comment on if it's sending the wrong message. I think exhibits like this will not solve the child obesity issue. No amount of PR in the world (even the magical Disney kind) will make kids choose broccoli over brownies. The only way kids will eat healthy is if their parents make them.Tara @ Tales of a Trophy Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482352114947524130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-40243993254362825802012-03-02T07:15:08.815-05:002012-03-02T07:15:08.815-05:00Ironically, Epcot once had a similar themed yet br...Ironically, Epcot once had a similar themed yet broader ranged pavilion under the name Wonders of Life, open from 1989 to 2007. While Habit Heroes was a great innovation, the focus could have been one step better. Though, I can't tell if the Wonders of Life pavilion is tamer compared to the Habit Heroes exhibit... or is it?
