I had just finished performing at a kids party, where all the kids wanted to throw imaginary candy into our imaginary boat, and then I get to see this company contributing to the madness? AHHHHHHH! No good.
I feel bad for kids. They get slammed with fast food, junk food, processed food, crappity crap food every five seconds while watching cartoons. All the new technology makes them want to sit inside and stare at a computer rather than play outdoors.
Right now, 20 % of kids are overweight, this will triple in the next decade, there are teenagers having heart attacks and getting triple bypass surgery, 1 out of 4 will develop diabetes, 1 out of 2 will develop diabetes because of weight, type II diabetes is more common than type I, clinical depression among obese children equals to chemotherapy. If things don't improve, if children are not introduced to foods that are healthy and give them energy, then we might see a time when the parents outlive their children.
It seems that is would make sense if there were pictures of fruits and veggies on a truck with a slogan "The Joy of Eating"....but that is not what sells and makes the big bucks. What Sara Lee's truck should say is "The Joy of Diabetes" because that is what is happening, and they are contributing to the madness.
