It’s a really easy word to say.
Children don’t have choices, they have wants and desires.
The time has come to ask ourselves: should we continue to allow food marketers the ability to influence our children’s choices and palates?
Are parents really this dysfunctional these days? Nevermind, question answered.
Why would a meat-eater ever marry a vegetarian? They are the nuttiest kind of lunatic and life will be a living hell.
The plastic/waste to food ratio of that meal-kit looks worse than the ratio for a McD’s Happy Meal(TM).
I actually see more seniors than children eating Happy Meals. Who will protect the elderly? /sarc.
First Peoples children are the FATTEST … and I know why … do you ? Hint: it’s not due to Happy Meals.
How did something as easy as cooking at home become so difficult?
Asteroid? We need more than one.
Parents buy junk food for their kids. Ban whatever one likes. There will always be junk food somewhere.
I’m disappointed that the chief pusher of this Bill is a Conservative Senator.This isn’t what they go to Ottawa to do.
Educate the parents,let them parent,we don’t need government interference in more of our life.
Seems like the whole Ottawa political elite is in favor of communist style cradle to grave government agenda.
Maybe they should appoint commissars to watch over us, like in the good old days back in Eastern Europe,every store,every restaurant,every school cafeteria, every workplace should have at least one responsible adult there to oversee our habits,lest we do harm to ourselves.
I love the heading of this post,”NO”, a word that has become not only out of fashion,but the epitome of alt-right fascist oppression of the masses. It should be banned,replaced by,”possibly” or “maybe”, but a short resounding NO! could cause anxiety and mental stress possibly leading to depression and suicide.
The answer to,”Daddy I want a 40 ounce slurpee and a big max and a ………” should always be answered with, YES!, my beloved child -comrade.
TV is already there to babysit the kids; it might as well teach them what’s fun to eat.
Oh but these politicians are only wanting to help and improve humanity. What could be more noble.
That is where we are heading real fast.
Meal kits??? What the H will these people do if we ever, and we will, experience something like the 1930s, or even worse if Soros gets his way.
scar, ya, go figure. Why would you deliberately look for trouble.
True.They should give them selves some kind of humanitarian awards.Probably will.
Classic Leftist Approach…soothe the symptom but ignore the reality..
WTF ever happened to Physical Education – 5 periods a week in school..oh yea, I remember some FAT kid had his/her feelings hurt and their hippie vegan Feminist single mom on Welfare went beserk on the Principal and thus poor Johnny was excused.
This was followed within a cpl of years by the dissolution of Physical Ed in Grade/High Schools across the land…We simply cant have their feelings hurt now can we…soon to be followed up by “Participaction” and “we don’t keep score” and all the other feel good BS installed in our Public Education system by so called experts that wouldn’t know a baby wipe from dish rag let alone any experience living in the REAL world.
What a croc of shit.
Happy meals were a treat…my kids got em and they are nowhere near Obese. This is just more government in Your FACE Marxist garbage
My 14 year old son cooks one meal a week for the family. He has been doing it for more than a years. With a bit of help he is learning how to cook and he will know how to look after himself when he moves out. My younger son will start doing the same thing when he turns 13. With all the resources available today (youtube) anyone with a handful of brain cells should be able to cook any meal they want.
“… anyone with a handful of brain cells …”
That strikes me as a rather optimistic assumption.
No!
Everybody will submit.
Little bit by little bit.
You won’t even notice.
Until it will be too late.
So just give up, resistance is futile.
And so on and so on.
E pericoloso sporgersi
So true … the sum total of mankind’s knowledge (or close to it) is available with a couple educated clicks … but most of the slacker Democretin voters just shoot imaginary creatures with their PS-4 controllers. While eating the two-for-one cheese burger special from Jack in the Box … and that’s just the gender fluid women Democrats transitioning to Chaz Bono
The King of fast food (my opinion) is Burger King. Macdonald is OK but their pictures exaggerate the size of the actual servings. They do have great coffee and muffins. A good second is A&W, great burgers. Fries are super.
Fast food won’t hurt a kid unless he or she overindulges.
Steak, mashed potatoes and gravy + green peas cooked at home will keep you healthy.
“Educate the parents…”
With all due respect don, if the parents aren’t educated, they shouldn’t choose to be parents. Who is to educate them?
We’re just having conversation here. I know you want liberty and the state to stay out of our lives.
My parents educated me. My wife’s parents educated her. My wife home schooled our children. My daughter is the best mom I have ever encountered. That includes my mom.
Parenting starts with having good parents.
optimistic in the extreme.
Happy Meals are the healthiest and lowest calorie option on McDonald’s menu, believe it or not.
Our family is boycotting A&W and the fat little guy who narrates their virtue signalling adverts.
We’ve found that the Angus burger at McDonald’s is pretty good and it’s even made with Canadian beef.
Fantastic! Our society needs MORE of YOUR extended family … and less of the “new” “family” and less of “the village” (read: the government) doing a crap job of raising children. Hint: what kind of food do you think welfare recipients buy with their EBT cards? Hint: it would be really easy for the government to track each and every purchase and report the findings. Hint: the government would NEVER report on a story that would show the CRAP American taxpayers are funding. So … “children of the village” will continue to blow-up like party balloons connected to a helium tank … while Smitherenzes grandchildren will be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
A & W used to be my first choice but they won’t do business with Deplorables like me. I used to raise cattle.
I got it!! Im gonna go on ‘Dragons Den’ with my idea of a foodbot. ya, a robot programmed to shove food down the gullet of any nearby live kid imobilized by their girth.
and the food is real real heavy on fat, sugar (esp ‘high fructose’) and salt.
nothing like promoting repeat customers !!!
