    I think reverse psychology would work best for kids under the age of 12.

    Great eat the crappy food. You will probably be dead from a coronary by the age of 40 so it doesn’t matter anyway.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    “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.

    I love this book so much, and by default, love this lady.

    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.

    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…

  16. smurfp4444 on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    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.

  17. YodaJones3 on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    I simply meant I agree, sorry if that last comment was misleading

  18. YodaJones3 on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    AMEN. Leave the constitution out of it. It is brought into the conversation for the sake of argument (*see religion*)

  19. crazyboyxx on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    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.

    umm, I understand you’re stance and where your coming from. you make a good point too. I also believe that there should be some regulation, but not too much regulation ..because we all know where that leads us, lol. most of the responsibilities must lay on the parents shoulders and not the government’s. its not our government’s job to be raising our children. honestly speaking, they regard us as mere human resources anyway.

  22. merdufer on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    I’m just tired of people bringing out the Constitution whenever people talk about government regulation.

    The situation is, putting the unfair advertising strategy of junk food companies under check is a sound strategy to deal with the problem. We should discuss its consequences, its fairness, its feasibility, etc.

    The sole purpose of my sarcasm was to raise attention to his blind ideological objection. If you failed to get that and saw my argument as offensive, I apologize.

  23. smashsamus on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    ..once again. I was saying that the matters of food regulation and alcohol control are two separate issues. if you cant understand that then….wow. ‘truthadvocate’ made a respectable point. then you had to follow up with you’re nonsenical sarcastic comment. and I just felt the need to point that out to you. try communicating to others without the sarcastic undertone, if not used properly you’ll just come of as rood.

  24. merdufer on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    smashamus: I certainly hope the government would take action if Drano tries to convince people how delicious it is. Or is it too unconstitutional for you?

  25. smashsamus on October 17th, 2009 9:44 am

    alcohol isn’t classified as a food..so you’re sarcasm against ‘truthadvocate’ wasn’t so funny. the topic of healthy or unhealthy foods is totally different from alcoholic substance control. Drano can also be ingested but its not food.
