Agreed, although you still have to deal with things like what kinds of foods public schools sell. I also feel that if we instate universal healthcare, there will need to be some sort of sin tax to make junk food…taste less sweet.

i say we lift age restriction on alcohol, and let parents use their authority to tell their kids to stay away from it.

the more you restrict corporations in advertising to children, the more you are empowering parents. to say otherwise is buying into the poppycock corporations are throwing out there. 1 happy meal is not unhealthy, but when advertisers say this will be the only thing that will make you happy then there is something wrong. i agree that parents should be THE healthy role model in their child’s life, and the assumption the TV will teach kids what’s always right is stupid.what parent wants a fat kid?

How many people really eat food that is healthy?I would say 1 in 10,000 in the us and much less in 3drds because of availability.Hardly anything in a regular grocery store is food.Its corporate “food”.You have to shop at health food stores,you can never eat fast food or gmo’s,or meat or dairy.Well meat if you raise “it”,treat “it” like a pet,and slaughter “it”,thats ok then.
I really only think 1/10,000 really does think fora.

alcohol isn’t classified as a food..so you’re sarcasm against ‘truthadvocate’ wasn’t so funny. the topic of healthy or unhealthy foods is totally different from alcoholic substance control. Drano can also be ingested but its not food.

smashamus: I certainly hope the government would take action if Drano tries to convince people how delicious it is. Or is it too unconstitutional for you?

..once again. I was saying that the matters of food regulation and alcohol control are two separate issues. if you cant understand that then….wow. ‘truthadvocate’ made a respectable point. then you had to follow up with you’re nonsenical sarcastic comment. and I just felt the need to point that out to you. try communicating to others without the sarcastic undertone, if not used properly you’ll just come of as rood.
