[QUOTE="el jefe 302, post: 15128831, member: 144639"] It's a damn shame.. locked into a class and can't improve their situation. How do we help these people planter? We need to give them access to quality resources before it's too late! Come on man, there are resources if your resourceful. It's personal accountability if you're an adult and parental accountability for kids. Targeting children is not a new marketing tactic, I remember buying candy cigarettes from the ice cream truck. Did that make me grow up to be a smoker? Umm nope. Parents control what their kids eat and do on their freetime. Kids sitting in front of a electronic device all day is more of an epidemic. Well that and societal degradation, look at how many dudes are chopping parts off now adays.*jab* The human body runs off of fat, protein and carbohydrates. Now there are good fats and bad fats but generally if you do research you know the difference and maintain exercise (this is key!) you will be healthy. Moderation for most is a thing of the past, everything is way too accessible. My kid knows that candy is bad for him, does he eat candy everyday? Nope. Does he want to? Nope. If he does something above and beyond in school I.E. aces a test. He gets rewarded... in moderation. Many kids today are spoiled and don't understand hard work or if you screw up there are real world consequences. Oh and if the weather is good, he's outside running around, like what kids are supposed to be doing. I'm trying to keep it on topic, however what we are seeing in most of todays society (rainbow parties, kids doing drugs) is from *IMO a lack of parents who PARENT not be their kids best friend. So with this mindset sugar is just another piece in a much bigger puzzle. Lack of stand up parents... that's the real epidemic. But hey i'm just a humble guy who plays the fool. :thumbsup: :beer: *EDIT* nxhappy beat me to it! :-D [/QUOTE]
