If anything, it sounds like people should stop feeding their kids so much pre packaged food.

Quit eating the packaging. But then, maybe the packaging has more nutrition.

Ban kids and the problem will eventually resolve itself.

As far as I’m concerned if they are considering either BMI or tobacco exposure, let alone both as this does, then it is pure junk with no science involved.

Most of my food during the summer comes in from garden or from our CSA.
What;s the effect of a garden hod on food?

I don’t know, but if the problem is obesity I’d look first at a relationship between eating pre-packaged food and obesity before blaming it on the chemistry of the package.

Post hoc fallacy. Doesn’t prove causation, just proves that fat people eat lots of food from plastic containers.

When my wife was a child, her mother would bring food home from the market either in her cloth bag or, if applicable as with cooked food, wrapped in banana leaves. In the intervening years the “unsanitary” cloth bag was replaced with plastic as were the banana leaves. Now reusable fabric bags are required in Eugene, OR to replace the plastic. Banana leaf food wraps are praised as ecologically friendly. Hmmmm

Junk science or relevant issue? I just found out today that another young coworker has cancer. Something is going on. I’m beginning to thing that post-WWII food advancements aren’t as great as we thought they were. I think my Depression era grandparents were doing it right when they shunned margarine, Crisco, sliced bread, and meat from the freezer section.

I knew there had to be a reason I’ve got a spare tire around my middle — its because I eat food wrapped in plastic. Yeah. That’s it! It has to be that; not the fact that I over-eat and under-exercise.

Bunk. The content of the food packages is the bigger factor.

While there might be some connection between the packaging and obesity, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that there’s an even better correlation between obesity and what’s IN the package.
