Hmmm. Not that I believe that TV has no effect on kids - in fact, I strongly support the American Academy Pediatrics recommendation of no screen time before the age of 2, and no more than 2 hours a day. But, as I have said before and will say again, parents have the most effect on what their kids think, do and eat. And while I do think that having only veggies and fruit at a party is totally unfair, having several healthy alternatives along with some of the other stuff is a great idea. We call veggie trays crudite and serve them with a special dip. Gives it that "party/fun/special" effect.
