Answer 1

Do you believe Kraft Dinner is healthy?

Not particularly, but it's not the worst thing out there.

Is Kraft Dinner’s marketing too forward?

No, I've seen much more forward marketing for other products.

Should young children be allowed to be targeted with this type of marketing?

Well, unless a child is buying his/her own food (unlikely), it doesn't really seem to matter if they are exposed. It should be up to their parents to regulate what they eat.

Is Kraft Dinner a good meal for busy families?

Not EVERY night, but for those busy nights it's good.

How old should a child be to make a proper meal for himself?

Ten or eleven.

How old should a child be to make Kraft Dinner by himself?

Again, ten or eleven.

Is there a better alternative to Kraft Dinner for a family-on-the-go/ child home alone?

Yes, home cooked meals are always a better alternative. But when those are not possible, kraft dinner is a fairly good option.

Answer 2

It's probably about as healthy as most other packaged foods.  The commercials seem OK, as far as it goes, but I hate all this marketing to kids.  Theirs' is somewhat better though because at least it is food, not total garbage.  I always found it a good side dish, not so much a meal, but I make it with tuna, cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms and sour cream and then it is a great meal.  I think a kid can make it when he/she seems capable of doing so, no particual age.  I don't think I could have raised my kids without it.

Answer 3

Do you believe Kraft Dinner is healthy?  No, read the ingredients and the nutrition facts, you can eat healthier for the same price.  

Is Kraft Dinner’s marketing too forward?  Most marketing is too forward.

Should young children be allowed to be targeted with this type of marketing?  Too late, read articles about the cereal isle at the supermarkets...

Is Kraft Dinner a good meal for busy families? Sure, but you can make things slightly healthier for about the same time, but planning ahead and pre-planning for the week's meals will get you 5 times the taste, health, and savings.

How old should a child be to make a proper meal for himself?  I feel it "boils" down to safety with appliances and safe food handling procedures.  Yes, little johnny made us a snack, but he was never taught to wash his hands after using the toilet - dig in everybody...

How old should a child be to make Kraft Dinner by himself?  based on answer above.

Is there a better alternative to Kraft Dinner for a family-on-the-go/ child home alone?  Sure.

You can answer these questions yes and no, but if you have a reason and would like to share it, please do!

Thanks!
