Are the "SUPER SIZE ME" & "WALMART: HIGH COST OF LOW PRICES" acceptable for young kids to watch?

Question

I mean, like ages 5-8.

Answer 1

I have seen "Super Size Me" and I think that would be totaly fine for a kid to watch.  Don't know how interesting it would be though.

Answer 2

I guess so, but i don't know of any 5-8 year olds who would want to watch them. But yeah, there is nothing bad in any of those movies. Watch away!!

Answer 3

Well, it depends.  Why do you want them to watch them?  Are you looking to set a moral example?  If so then just talk to them about why you don't shop at those stores.  We are completely an anti-Walmart family and my kids know that.  Since they were around five we've talked with the kids about things like fair trade, labor practices, environmental issues and things like that.  We haven't delved into great detail.  We've told them "we don't shop at Walmart because of the way they treat people."  My kids even refer to walmart as the "evil empire".  My daughter knows that we only buy products not tested on animals and that we recycle.

So long story short-if you are trying to set a moral example it can be done far better by talking with them than watching a movie.  

Either way-good luck.

*another good documentary is "who killed the electric car"

Answer 4

8 year olds yes

but 5 year olds are to young to even understand it

Answer 5

Super Size Me is GROSS!

It's appropriate, but it's so gross. You would regret watching it. :/

Answer 6

yes, of course, i saw both of those when i was about 7. i have stopped eating mcDonalds, and i am careful of what i buy at walmart. i am 12 now, for the record.

Answer 7

Why would a 5 year old have any interest in a documentary made for adults?

Turn the TV off. They don't HAVE to be watching something every hour of the day.
