In the novel, The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini writes, “Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them with your favorite colors.” The same is true for beverages. Parents may try to fill their kids with healthy drinks, but if kids don’t like it, they may not drink it and run the risk of insufficient fluids for good health. On the other hand, sometimes the drinks kids choose are chock full of ingredients that parents object to and, in excess, might actually create health problems.
