Honey We're Killing The Kids!

Re: Honey We're Killing The Kids!

I'm with Vampyre on this one. I don't watch much tv but the previews looked interesting so I sat through one or two of these. What a waste of 30 minutes. Or was it an hour? lol

The kids WERE brats. The Dad gave the kids treats. The mother was trying to quit smoking at the same time. The meals were disgusting things like octopus or something. BLECK. It definately could be done more humanely but I suppose that wouldn't make for such "good" tv.

A shame, because the idea is a good one and if it were done properly perhaps these kids would have a better chance of really changing their habits for the better.

I find the computer "transformations" hilarious!! It's like they press the "ugly" button at the initial button, and press the "young and sexy" button for the last consult, regardless of how well the parent is actually implementing the plan!

I've only seen it a couple of times, and it seemed so overblown, like a parody show to me. I also agree that it verges on child exploitation.

Re: Honey We're Killing The Kids!

Oh boy! I agree with everyone here about how stupid the computer aging is. They basically say fat = stupid (too stupid to get a job or fix their hair or wash). But has anyone seen the episode where they take the children to a slaughter house or someplace to give them an aversion to bacon? I only saw bits of it but apparently the children loved processed meats. I can’t imagine what kind of damage that could have done.

WHAT!?

Oh GOD that's so horrific!

I also have a problem with how repetitive the nutritionist is and how she has all the personality of a stalk of celery.

Re: Honey We're Killing The Kids!

The first episode I watched wasn't too bad, but I've caught bits and pieces of a couple of other episodes since then, and...I'll never watch that show again. It's horrific, the way they traumatize the kids...having candy in a jar where they can see it all day every day but never touch it? And when they do, they are punished? Being forced to eat stuff that makes them retch? Oh, yeah, that'll teach them a healthy relationship with food.


They totally ruined what was a terrific premise for the show.
