Americans always hide behind the constitution despite its ineptness in this context. Not only are kids not necessarily in control of their actions, but their disposable incomes are high and often out of direct control of parents. In other words, the only possible source of intervention is political. But so long as americans see any intervention as “socialism” and are in love with human-hating corporations like mcdonalds then they will never learn.

I do not believe placing energy into the BLAME MODEL reaches the ultimate target. Fastfood is playing a role ,but there are many other items to consider.
Lets create a discussion,and lets be open to ideas and other concepts. Ventilation is the key.
Oreceo says
Nope this is not an evil American problem. Greed driven companies market to children across the globe using the same strategies but catered to the specific culture involved…

Childhood obesity is at an all-time high, and it’s mostly due to parents buying the food that kids want from seeing constant advertisements for junk food. I have something on this topic on my page. Anyone interested in the negative effects of junk food should check out my page.

“blind ideological objection”??? You should ask yourself who regulates political ads? Of course youre not concerned, cause yours is the ideology of big government. Bringing up the Constitution points out the fact that our government has grown far beyond it’s original intent, & far beyond our ability to sustain it. The more you restrict our freedom to communicate, without restricting the lies pervasive throughout political advertising, the more you prove your ideological double standard.

The rats are jumping ship.
CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners has recently taken down it’s YouTube page.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the high-fructose corn syrup ad campaign. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

Yep.. as a constitution lover.. I find things like this hard to understand…
I am not sure what knowledge the founding fathers have..
If they knew about how much T.V. our children watched, how impressionable they are and how fatty our food is today..
Would they be for allowing multi billion dollar corpartions to use their “first amendment rights” to target them?
Sad to say, but at some point we have to say their wisdom can’t cover EVERYTHING…
We have to use OUR knowledge…

Your right the best way to handle this kind of thing is to make all of the information easily attainable to the “kids.” And if that doesn’t work there’s always reverse psychology.
iamabodaciousdude says
Great eat the crappy food. You will probably be dead from a coronary by the age of 40 so it doesn’t matter anyway.
enlargemedia says
I think reverse psychology would work best for kids under the age of 12.

It is an undeniable fact that this “whole foods movement” is heavily linked with the environmentalist lunatics and the global warming cult. But the truth is that on this issue of nutrition, these people are absolutely 100% dead on right! Big business does not care that Americans are getting sicker by the year on the tpical western diet. My hat is off to these folks who are blowing the whistle on the food industry!
capemaychange says
@FiberMania It’s true that most environmentalists aren’t concerned at all with real environmental issues. CCD, plastic islands in the oceans, depleted uranium, GMO foods, industrial waste, etc. etc. They want to help fund the elitists they hate with carbon taxes.
The “All Jacked Up” documentary is def the best for waking a lot of people up to the truth about the foods they eat, especially young people. I’m just about to upload it in a lil bit.
MrWtfseriously says
So glad my mother raised me on healthy foods back in the 70’s. Junk food was so limited. Learned to cook from her, and how to shop. I can’t remember the last time I went to the center isles in a grocery store except looking for spices. >.>
It’s amazing what you can learn from someone’s diet when standing at the checkout. Most of the time it’s pre-packaged foods loaded in sodium. The odd time I find someone buying veggies, and I spark up, “Whatcha cooking?” Other’s look down to the floor.

@iamabodaciousdude I will buy my kids a happy meal today

I can’t believe that Marion Nestle has bought into the Corn Refiners Association “HFCS is nutritionally the same as sugar” propaganda.
dog13fish says
i didn’t understand a word she said can any body explain. thank uuuuu
Frizzurd says
you gotta be wealthy to eat healthy. Cancer inducing, sugary Solyent Green made out of processed corn and meat byproducts…. this is what the lower and middle class often eat; while the CEOs of fast food chains eat Lobster with a side of green vegetables.
