I knew vegetables were the cause of obesity!

I always thought it was like this:

The world has gone mad, some folk like to moan for the sake of moaning, in Scotland some schools will not let the kids make Father or Mother day cards in case it upsets the kids that don't have one but they could make cards for aunts and uncles or other members of the family.

In Happy Meals you can exchange fries for carrot sticks or a fruit bag and have no added sugar squash, organic milk or even water instead of soda. Also finshfingers are an option - lower in fat and calories than nuggets, or burger.
That seems plenty of choice to me!

Why is the teacher wandering around in her bath robe and bare feet? What kind of school is that?

footfootfoot · 11-19-2010, 12:07 PM

Home school

Ah.
Not the same in America?

No, here corporations have put the burden of proof that their practices are harmful on the citizens who are educated about what is good for them by the also corporate owned television shows, news outlets, and commercials. So it's really a win-win for the corporations.

With all the TV, print, and internet haranguing about kids nutrition, there's no excuse for not knowing fast food is not a good steady diet for their kids. So parents can't hide behind ignorance, they have to make the choice. But goddammit, it shouldn't be the government making that choice.

It'll be the government who eventually will foot much of the bill for the health problems caused by poor choices, so maybe they have a vested interest.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. That is nothing but good nutrition.

You are assuming people used intelligence to also know Saddam did not have WMDs. Facts said so. But an overwhelming majority only hear and only believe what propaganda tells them to believe. Facts be damned. Because of how people think (as proven here by Saddam's WMDs), almost everyone would *know* that list is nothing but best nutrition. We are told so every day even on TV kid shows. It must be true.

For your assumption to be true, you must explain the so many Cellar posts in 2002 and 2003 that believed WMDs when hard facts said otherwise.

We are trying to complete the transition away from trans fats though.

McDonald's may not offer fish fingers yet but they do offer apples if you look at the small print. That would be someplace under their new designer coffee flavors. lol

Many other fast food places offer fruit smoothies, some of the McDonald's too.

I could be wrong, but I'll guess their "fruit smoothies" are loaded with sugar and calories.

The fruit smoothies were pure as the driven initially because they were in fact 'INNOCENT', practically sacred to foodies because they were totally uncontaminated by sugars and or preservatives or additives. However, the keepers of the flame rose up and wailed as one when Innocents went on sale in the golden archways alongside the deep fried apples.

I understand that Innocent have since been bought (sold out to?) Pepsi.

Just been told it was sold to Coca Cola in April iof this year
