[quote=Anonymous]I think these kids just have more cash in their pocket and use it at places like Starbucks or Chipotle. While we hung out plenty as teens, it was mostly at the mall, in the neighborhood or at someone's house -- not at food places, so there was as much of a habit of snacking. If you were being unhealthy, a snack at someone's home would be a stack of cookies -- not a burrito or a Frappuccino. I don't understand the obsession with Starbucks starting in the pre teens. Back in the day (like 15 yrs ago not 100 yrs ago), kids didn't drink coffee; the few that did -- it was cultural to have coffee with milk in the mornings -- which hardly adds any calories. Now you have kids going to Sbux a few times a week or maybe even daily ordering drinks that are pretty much dessert. A 16 oz Frappuccino with whipped cream has 500+ calories. You'd think if they consume that much "stuff" in a beverage -- they'd be inclined to skip a meal!? [/quote]
