My solution: Turn off the bloody TV!

My solution is to let the parents decide what their kids eat, and to leave the food Nazis out of it..

So much for Freedom of Commerce...

I'll betcha anything that these people who take such extreme offense with "junk" cereal wouldn't so much as gasp at the content of Desperate Housewives.

Head start program loads up more than 2,000 calories in the breakfast, presuming that the child won't have lunch or dinner.

No talk of changing that to identify which kids don't get fed any other time of day and which kids get a lunch too and which get 2 other meals a day.

"Besides the Center for Science in the Public Interest, other plaintiffs in the case include the Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and Andrew Leong, a parent from Brookline, Massachusetts."

We know that the Chicago based "policy group" is the work of one person. My thought is that Leong is the founder and soul population of the Boston "policy group" as well as a relative or close personal friend of the Chicago group.

And, they both waste long hours on their PC posting to DU.

It takes a village idiot to raise a child.

Those parents who require their children to eat healty will. The others wont...but its none of these red, pinko, socialst, consumer-watch-dog butt wipes business or Hillary Clintons business how individual families deal with their nutrition.

This is that same Commie consumer-watch-dog crap that Ralphie boy Nader (Nadir = the bottom) pulls all the time.

You gotta hate these busy bodies.

You know, the presumption of this is as follows: Kelloggs advertises to kids. Kids ask their parents to buy advertised cereal. Parents are helpless to resist child's request, therefore, Kelloggs is directly responsible for every malady facing children today.

Oh, brother.

[YOUGOTIT]

The Center for Science in the Public Interest as I understand it these are NOT Scientist nor do they have anything to do with public interest. They are anti Capitalist who are, like the ACLU, out to destroy the United States as a free Capitalist country.

"As a parent, I do my best to get my kids to eat healthy foods," Sherri Carlson, a plaintiff and mother of three, said in the center's news release. "But then they turn on Nickelodeon and see all those enticing junk-food ads."

Idiot wimpy parent. Who soes the grocery shopping in your family lady? You or the kids? Learn to tell your children "NO". It will NOT kill them.

Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood

On the front of the Commercial Box, there in a button that, when depressed, will engage the Commercial-Free Childhood.

You hit it! Government programs create permanent underclasses which spark clinical depression in those who are most vulnerable and is manifested in obesity.

[Fiddlstix]

The Center for Science in the Public Interest on Wednesday announced legal action to try to stop the Kellogg Co., maker of cereals like Frosted Flakes, and Nickelodeon cable network Viacom Inc., from marketing junk food to children.

LOL! When was the last time you saw children in a super market doing their own shopping?
This is ridiculous. Their parents buy the stuff.

LOL! I love Calvin and Hobbes.

I wonder of these same people are upset that homosexual groups are targeting their children and using programs at school to do so.

[MeanWestTexan]

Why do they think they have the right to bring this lawsuit? Don't you need to be personally hurt or something?

Or did they do away with that rule for do-googers in MA?

[Millee]

My 4-year-old always goes grocery shopping with me. When she points out something I don't want her to have, I say "no". Guess I should just give into her demands then sue the company that makes the product. (rolling eyes..)

"out to destroy the United States"

Sheesh, lay off the conspiracy crack pipe for awhile will ya? That is just a BIT much!
