It's not my fault dammit

i think that when children are bombarded daily with billions in advertising for shit food, drinks, candies and so on, endorsed by all their favorite cartoon characters, singers or other idols... it is a problem that extends beyond "good parenting". besides that, parents today for the most part, eat like fucking idiots as well and lack any perspective on what healthy eating habits are.

how do you counter hundreds of billions of advertising? personally, i dont think its realistic to think you can teach a kid what good eating habits are. most are never going to get it because it your message and 10,000,000 others and peers saying and doing the opposite.

this is one of the few areas of society where i feel government should get involved. schools should not have candy and pop machines. they should not have mcdonalds in them etc. if mcdonalds is going to almost exclusively market to children with toys, birthday parties, happy meals and indoor playgrounds, then they should bear some responsibility for it.

its not an issue anymore of freedom, free market economics or good parenting.. its a problem that has become pandemic in its scale.

do you allow the genocide just because those dying don't complain? no. if anyone had the slightest bit of compassion for those around them... they would encourage healthy lifestyles and healthy eating habits and do whatever is necessary to stop some ghetto retard, self loathing trailer trash or otherwise damaged parent from making their kids obese for life.
