Ah, yes, just how many oppressive laws have been enacted worldwide throughout history in the name of protecting the children... so silly to assume that parents might take any responsibility in bringing them up!

You want to talk about indoctrination in schools, take a look at the curriculum, not at the friggin' food.
[/QUOTE]

Your vague gem, touches on a million nothings that make it simply too difficult to engage.

I didnt talk about indoctrination in schools, you did. But our policy makers should be more than capable of carring on two conversations at the same time especially when the end results are interconnected; in this case sure curriculum's should be drastically changed, but so should eating habits and nutritional directions fed to kids given rising obesity rates and increases in diabetes.

And your compelling idea to "not look at the friggin' food" is weak.

Schools in Canada sell horrible food to kids at the youngest ages...pop, chips, pizza, chocolate etc etc. In Singapore, all schools are forbidden to sell pop, chips, chocolate, fries, hamburgers. It was not the cirriculum that made the determination to dictate the menu in the cafeteria.

It was the government.

that's bullshit... Are parents such wimps to give in to their little whiny bastards?

Parents can make up their own minds. How many kids are on a payroll/allowance to buy this on their own?

Seriously?

This isn't even a personal freedom we're talking about. It's ADVERTISING.


They can advertise to a kid all they want. Shouldnt the parent be making the final decision no matter what? Why should the government step in to parent the kids? That is a true definition of a nanny state if i have ever seen one.

I think the only people who support this are the people who cant say no to kids and want the government to do it for them.

Weak...

Do you think children have the ability to think about advertising critically?

Based on this reasoning, then maybe they should go a step further and ban all children from viewing ALL media until 18?

Whatever happened to the idea of "parenting"?
