what do we have to do to get food commercials Banned?

[Catracks 865]

Yep, I agree. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves at some point.

The only way in which I differ is that I think advertising to children is unethical, and in many countries targeting children with advertisement is not legal for that reason. Children have no ability to discern when they are being advertised too, and I believe it was stated that children under the age of 6 or 7 cannot always discern between commercial advertisements and regular children's programming. So thats my only exception, as for adults.... we are going to have to learn to suck it up. It bothers me too, so I do other things with my time besides watch TV.

Ah, but see, that's why children have parents. WE are responsible for them; not the government. We can limit their TV time, teach them to not watch smut and encourage them to eat healthy.

Eventually they get out into the world and we can only hope that lessons stick.

Why are you so angry? It was just a suggestion to help with Americans to become unobeise. If Im correct American population is what 35% obeist. What do you think made them this way? Maybe you dont give a hoot about others healthcare but I do, especially the children. I think alot of crap on here smells, you dont see me complaining about it.

It's called personal responsibility. Handing life decisions over to the government creates a tyrannical government and that impacts my liberty and that of my children. Yes, it's enough to get angry about. Of course I care about the health of my brothers and sisters, but it is up to THEM. Let's keep it that way.

You are angry because you live in a free country? We are very lucky to have America as our home! We might not have a perfect government, but its alot better than some countries. My point about all of this is to stop the advertizements of very unhealthy foods. So what if the government has to do it that will be something, in the long run that helps America. Im not trying to convience anyone on here my beliefs. I just thought it would be a great thought if we could do something about Americas obeisity problem.

It's not that bad..except for the corruption, greed,

Bipartisanship, kickbacks... Ok it's pretty bad

But you are right I'd rather be here than anywhere!! (Sorry Aussies)

[Catracks 865]

I certainly

You are angry because you live in a free country?

That's pretty absurd to come to that conclusion. Not so free if you turn over all of your freedoms to the government in the name of security.

I'd certainly rather live here, but I want to keep it free of socialism and any form of totalitarianism.
