I recently became a father and this has made me realize how bad most food (products) are for people yet 90% of them don’t care. I didn’t used to either, but now I know and I certainly don’t miss the nasty, super-cheap, subsidized fast food junk that some people survive off of.

It’s sad that it takes either a life-threatening disease or having a kid before most adults realize the garbage the food industry creates and has hoodwinked it’s nutritious food.

“Do kids need to get off their asses, go outside and play silly games like capture the flag more often?” Wow, its unanimous! Seriously, I remember when my brother and I would be practically shoved out of the door by my Mom so that we kids would be outside. We would find that other kids in the neighborhood got booted outside, too. I think the neighborhood moms were in collusion, since us kids would get back from playing all afternoon to find all our moms at Paul’s Mom’s house in the kitchen, with a blender out and having some colorful drinks! (Hey, that could work as a commercial to encourage parents to get the kids outside… kids outside means grown-up time inside!)

This whole subject of Govt intervention & control of our fat asses is total liberal, Progressive bull-shit! You can have your fucking healthy attempt to have Govt manage our life for outcomes that suit the Fabian Socialists butt licks, I’ll take my freedom-based problems and be very, very happy…thank you very much!!

It’s a simple fix. DON’T BUY JUNK FOOD!nnI kept lots of fresh fruits and vegies in the house the kids could eat whenever and how much they wanted without having to ask. All my kids and grandkids love fresh fruits and vegies.nnAnd homemade is always better then anything out of a package.
