There's also a high percentage of children under 2 with tvs in their rooms. Whaaa? I think that's insane.

Gah!

See, just when I think I'm doing a good job of being nonjudgmental about other people's parenting styles, I come across something like that. What the hell?

The Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study is another prime source of parenting OMGWTF. For example:

- Soda is being served to infants as young as seven months old.
- In any given day, one third of toddlers 19-24 months are not consuming a vegetable and nearly 20 percent are not consuming any fruit.
- French fries are the most commonly consumed vegetable for toddlers aged 15-24 months.
- By 19-24 months, most toddlers consumed sweets, desserts or salty snacks at least once a day.
