I have just started watching a show where they are helping families eat healthily. A 19 month old (yes 19 months old) is eating KFC,McDonalds, chips, 6 cans of COKE A DAY. WTF and it's not that they don't know any better the Mum cooks but they wont eat it so takeaways they get!!!!!

Yup..totally ridiculous. But that's what's happening.
I remember watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution in Britain and one of the moms they showed had a little girl who was about 5 and had NEVER eaten a home cooked meal. Most of the women in the group had never touched raw meat and some didn't even know what boiling water looked like.
A lot of it is coming down to a mixture of laziness and inability (laziness because how much effort down it take to look up a recipe online or in a cookbook. Not *knowing* how to cook should really not be much of an excuse) and beyond that, the children of today want what they want, when they want it (as most children do, that's natural) and the parents just give in to them.
It's easier to give in in the moment than to fight the battle and raise your kid right.

6 cans of coke a day? WTF. I let my kid eat nuggets from McDonalds and KFC and a sip of our coke but he does not have coke or nuggets every day OMG that is crazy.
