Lifestyle 4 thought: Satisfy your child's sweet tooth with peace of mind

Introduction

Over the last 30 years, we've witnessed drastic technological developments such as audio visual, wireless mechanisms and the discovery plastic. From black & white 10 inch to 47 inch LCD televisions, huge palm sized handphone to a third of its weight and size, plain green font computers to mutlicolor and size computers. Now, almost 70% of our household items are made of plastics, "Everyone can fly" with no frills airlines like Air Asia and "Everyone can drive" with affordable automobiles.

We've also witnessed a great shift in world economy from trading of real goods to the shift of wealth amongst people via world share and commodity trading markets. I realise that if I don't exit fast the market at its high fast enough, my wealth gets shifted to someone else's pocket instead.

All these were made possible with the help of one great invention; the computer. On one hand, these has given us all great comfort in life but on the other hand, these developments has resulted in global warming, which is the beginning of the destruction of the earth. When the weather gets hot, we create air-condition to cool ourselves down at the expense of making the globe warmer. When we're too busy climbing the corporate ladder, the demand for convenience such as packed food and disposable diapers, resulted in a high demand for plastics that leads to non-biodegradable rubbish piling up.

How then, can we help preserve it for our future generation?

Satisfy your child's sweet tooth with peace of mind

Kids just love sweets and colorful food. Unfortunately, colorful sweets are nothing but sugar that does not contain any nutrition and is undoubtly bad for health. Most confectionaries contains artificial color and flavors. Imagine your kids popping fake fruits and colors into their mouth each time they eat a sweet. I always limit my kids' intake of sweets because of these reasons.

But kids will be kids.... They just can't resist sweets.. In order to satisfy their sweet tooth, I was happy to find "The Natural" sweets, a product from Australia. Their sweets are juicy and taste just like fruit chewing fruit juices. Best of all, it contains no artificial flavors and colors.You can find these in Cold Storage, The Cocoa Trees at Mid Valley Gardens and Jaya Grocers.
