TweetGreat find brother.The problem IMHO is not the availability of these things as much as it is the lack or parenting in homes teaching your kids yo eat and drink healthier.Sure,I know everyone will say "HEY KIDS WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT" and this is true to a point.They'll do what they can get away with and this begins in the home first of all.Not only limiting their access to things but TEACHING them about things and along those same lines teaching them discipline.

The problem is kids are basically being raised by themselves today or by babysitters that have no better values or even worse than they do so how can they in Gods name learn anything?? They have no idea whats right and wrong.They learn from tv commercials pushing these things as they are the golden elixirs.

Im a firm believer in having an old school "FAMILY" again in our society and truly believe this will help put us on the right track as a nation and culture again.

I couldn't agree more brotha. Parenting now days is so different than it was when I was a kid. With all the technology breakthroughs, computers, game systems etc... it seem like a lot of parents just pawn their kids off to these in order to keep them busy and out of their hair. Like FIST said, if we could bring back the old school "Family" I think a lot of our kid's futures would be a bit brighter.

Now I'm not saying game systems and such are bad, but they shouldn't take the place of parenting.
