Now, no woman can be that hot to get into that much trouble over. Even if she is the only one on the planet.

Kids on the other hand have a harder time saying no than an adult does. An adult should be able to see through the ads and do what is right - and do what is right for our children.

LOL then she would of been like "you can't have any punani!".

i have my own take on the matter:


the garden of eden was a nursery (nutritious food on demand, unlimited pets, all the toys they could want, perfect climate), adam and eve were children (kids have no problem with nudity, since they have no concept of sexuality), the serpent was knowledge, and eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was a sign that they were ready to accept the responsibilities of maturity. god said "are you sure? you can't come back home if you leave and i'm not gonna be there to bail you out when you get into trouble. you can always call home and i'll be glad to give advice, but you're on your own."

the whole story makes a helluva lot more sense put that way.

otherwise, god is a selfish narcissist who gives them free will then punishes them for using and deliberately sets traps to make them fail.

There are plenty of public schools that allow corporate sponsorship, advertising and even teaching aids. Greenbrier High School in Evans, Georgia has something called “Coke in Education Day.” That’s just one example.

[threenorns]

okay, that's just nauseating and is a good argument for home schooling.

Cut backs in public school funding are forcing some schools to sell their souls to these companies.

[threenorns]

too bad what's getting cut is the kids' education.

[candyass]

They also have to meet quotas on how much coke/pepsi they sell. It's a captive market.

like cows in the channels to the stunner.

That's awful. But I believe it. My PE classes (team taught with the male PE teacher) had 75 kids in our gym. It was ridiculous. And unsafe. But cutbacks mean less equipment and larger class sizes.

I have a problem with "junk" food companies getting involved in schools. But if a company that somehow promotes health with their products wanted to get involved, I might be fine with it... depending. It might prove to be a great means for more health education.

Small rant: Those "lunchables" make my blood boil. I see so many primary students with those, a can of pop and a "diparoo" for dessert.

Man, I didn't know that. You have more info on this? I'd like to give it to some people.

Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser, and Fat Land, by Greg Crister are both very well researched books that should give you plenty of information.

I heard about Fast Food Nation but haven't read it yet. I'll check those out.

The easy solution, for a family at least, is to have prepared lunches from home.

The "Child Nutrition Carte" at my school was loaded down with Little Debbies, Gatorades, cookies, and assorted bags of chips. The salad line had soggy day old sandwhiches and browning lettuce with "serve yourself" soup containers that any student could easily contaminate with anything they felt like.

[.V.]

Yes the prepared lunches from home is the best idea. There is a problem with that though, young children who bring their lunches from home instead of buying it at school when all the others are buying theirs are treated like outcasts. Throughought K-2 my youngest took her lunch and the "lunch boxers" all sat together - it was a pretty good thing, they were seated first, sat together, and had some good social time. Then in grade 3, less and less of them brought lunches from home. When one child is the last lunch boxer sitting at the table alone, they begin to feel neglected and unwanted. Better at that time to start putting some pressure on the school to have some healthier choices and hope the kids have learned the lessons about healthy eating that you have taught them.

Considering the epidemic of DMII, an adult disease, among children now, some of them didn't learn. Since this disease is caused by insulin resistance, it appears that children are too fat, getting too much sugar, too much starch, too often and are paying for it with their health. School starts back here later this month, I'll resume my campaign for a healthy, balanced diet in the schools again at that time.
