Should cigarettes be banned?

Quote from Thunderdog:

Most people probably agree on what qualifies as "junk food." These are foods with high fat and/or salt and/or sugar content with questionable relative nutritional value. If a law were to be enforced banning the advertising of junk food directly to children, then I imagine that the most egregious junk food could be identified and classified as such by those more informed than the two of us.

"Most people" can't read the label on a jar or bottle let alone comprehend and agree on "junk food".

EVERYTHING with "high fat", sugar and/or salt and/or sugar content IS of questionable nutritional value. See what i mean..

As for your last statement.. so you admit you don't have a f^cking clue what junk food is.. or the converse what is good nutrition. let alone WTF to ban, and you were talking out your azz prematurely, again?

I really don't know whether you are being intentionally obtuse or whether you are genuinely an idiot. Either way, please be assured that my regard for you remains the same.

i assure you i am not deliberately obtuse,
probably an idiot. so what's junk food? Or the converse, what is good nutrition? you stated you want to ban the advertising of junk food to children. i ask you what IS junk food.. you say most people understand (are YOU in category of "most people?").. and then YOU say we need a committee of authorities to tell us so which is it?? haven't they al;ready told us

WHAT JUNK FOOD DO YOU WISH TO BAN?? ROFL

That was my guess. I'm going to place him on ignore. So many people have raved about this feature. Let's see how well it works.

Quote from Thunderdog:

Reread your earlier post. You asked me to justify the rationale for not advertising junk to children. I did. I didn't say it was illegal. I said it SHOULD be illegal. Just because a parent allows a child to become obese on junk food does not mean that responsible advertisers should be allowed to directly advertise their crap to impressionable children. That it IS presently legal does not speak well for the society we live in. Must responsible parents be as apprehensive of McDonald's as they are of other child predators who wish to put them in peril and take advantage of them?

What’s the sense in banning? Okay, so you don’t want your kids smoking, drinking, doing drugs – I understand. But banning does quite the opposite. I think exposing but educating is the best way to approach it. Sit your kids down when they are in their early teens and make them smoke a cigarette. I don’t think they’ll touch another one (given that they aren’t surrounded by smokers). As young teens they are young enough to be impacted by the cigarette and old enough to understand what it does. Face it, your kids will (likely) drink before 21, they will (likely) have sex before marriage, etc. Instead of teaching your kids not to drink or have sex why not teach them to not drink and drive, and to have protected sex as opposed to the harsh DON’T DRINK, DON’T HAVE SEX, which will only peak your kids curiosity?

Happy Valentines Day!

the funny thing is that ...the food you buy at publix is just as bad....peace...in a world where more is needed in order to keep prices somewhat tame....shortcuts are taken.....there is only so much the ocean and farmlands produce for us....everything else is a mutant formation
