Quote from LongShot:
Who's to blame if the parents allow their children to partake of "poison", marketing or no marketing?
I think the beef and dairy industry is poison. You may not. Some people think McDees is one of the food groups, you may not. People need to become informed about matters of nutrition, then then make the right choices for themselves and their children.
To me a big crisp salad is tastier and more satisfying than a big mac, but it wasn't always this way. I made conscious choices after seeking out and becoming informed. Their marketing machine can't touch me, I am rock solid in my convictions. Just say 'NO'.
The nutritional knowledge is out there. It has been out there in the media, on internet in your libraries for a long long time now. Fast food hamburger joints thrive, people continue to consume hundreds of pounds of beef each year despite the fact that FAT kills. French fries are an american staple, you telling me we didn't know fries are bad for you? That we've been duped by the "criminal businessmen? LOL. We know, and we've known for a long time. We eat them anyway. Who's fault is this .. the business man merely giving them what they wiss, or the customer who knows better but doesn't care? The customer is always 'right", and he always gets what he wants. When we stop wanting the poison it will go away, not before.
