Chief Dick Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The wife and I are in a battle about children's vitamins. I'm one of those guys who believes if you eat a balanced diet, you should get your necessary nutrients. We feed the kids home cooked food for their meals. They all eat their fruits and vegetables, all drink milk. They rarely get soda and drink plenty of water. My wife gives them a flintstones vitamin every night. I'm not sure I want to start the whole process of taking a pill every day, when I know they eat pretty darn well for kids. What say you huddlers?

Double Agent Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Our kids take them and we eat very healthy. We all take vitamins. Is it necessary? I don't know. But it doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I can barely get my kid to eat anything that is not a vegetable or fruit and he still takes a vitamin as well. Can't hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Since your kids eat well a vitamin supplement may not give them much benefit. My kids were far from perfect eaters, so my wife and I felt a vitamin supplement was very important.

SEC=UGA Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Sure, go ahead and start socializing your children to popping pills, can't hurt, I mean at this early age it will just make the transition to adult pills easier. make sure they know that pills are a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle... Can't concentrate, sleep, stay awake, get it up, produce enough saliva, poop, stop pooping, just take a pill, you may as well acclimate them to it now. Big pharmaceuticals and all the crack pot supplement companies thank you for the early indoctrination of yer children.

polksalet Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 A lot of multivitamins are synthetic. They displace the natural vitamins in your kids food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I separate out all the Betty Rubble vitamins and throw the rest out so I can say I eat Betty every morning. It's possible that I need to get laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
