Young children that are barely old enough to speak in complete sentences were recently brought to Capitol Hill by a radical food 'watchdog' group in an effort to gain congressional support for the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Bill. The children, dressed in costumes making them look like the Fruit of the Loom "Fruit Guys," are being paraded around entrances to congressional buildings in silly costumes while their 'well-informed' adult companions tell Members of Congress and their staffers what the kids really want them to know, but just don't know how to say, because no kids their age have a clue about this issue.
Whether or not the cheap publicity stunt that exploited young children had any real effect, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) proclaimed victory yesterday with the passage of the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act (H.R. 5504) in the House of Representatives Education and Labor Committee.
Ironically, the CSPI recently accused McDonald's of being no different that child predators luring children with candy in playgrounds. Exploiting children for political gain, apparently, is a legitimate marketing scheme to generate publicity and support for the CSPI's radical agenda.
