??? Disney droping ads for junk food targeted at kids => Dem's care for kids? Or do you simply oppose the fact that Michelle is involved?
This whole effort is election year related. As a matter of fact, I don't care for anyone trying to bludgeon someone else or any enterprise in the private sector into doing something using political correctness. That includes Michelle Obama. And because of her elevated non-elected status as the powerless first lady, she has no business whatsoever being involved in trying to dictate to anyone what they can or cannot do.
While you’re trying to figure out what’s wrong with this ...
I see nothing wrong with it!Okay, then how will you feel when Michelle says you can't do something else? Where do you draw the line? When she bans syrup, economy size soft drinks, butter, Crisco, salt, certain cuts of beef... you'll be right there to kiss her feet right? When she and her gang start focusing on McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and other fast food enterprises, you'll be right there to praise her right?
These are matters of personal choice, and my Constitution doesn't grant Michelle Obama, you, or anyone else to make these decisions for me. If I and the general public prefer to eat some of these things from time to time, it's none of your G D business.
There seems to be some sort of run-way logic trail, where well-meaning people somehow disconnect with reality to justify some illogical conclusions. What's wrong with junk food in moderation? If we were honest with ourselves, no chips, any deserts, sodas, alcoholic drinks, or many other items would be sold. In moderation, there isn't a problem with these things. I like hamburgers. That doesn't mean I eat them every day. I like M&Ms too. I eat them about once every six months. Who are you are anyone else to decide what I, my wife, or my kids eat?
As a parent, if I don't think something is healthy for my children, I will limit access to it. Believe it or not, I haven't curled into a fetal position in a corner on the floor under the kitchen table because I couldn't deal with it.
It's not like Disney is now suddenly advocating / the government mandating that kids can't eat junk food! Disney has simply decided to NOT accept advertising for junk food.
Disney is also revising it's menus at all it's theme parks. An unelected private individual is mandating all this, and you're sitting there happy as a Lark because it's a good thing.Then it will be okay when she focuses on weapons? You know, those hurt a lot of people each year...
Sheesh!
