I say the parents play a HUGE role in what goes into the child's mouth. One doctor said if Mom eats cheetoh's and white bread while pregnant the child will develop those taste buds. I am not sure I agree with that. But I do stand firm on my role as a parent and what goes into my kids mouths. Also, kick them outside every once in a while, and make them ride their bikes, or play chase, or run through the sprinklers. A change from computers and TV...both of which are on in my house right now. Ooops!

Agreed, but if the Feds wanted to get involved, they should ban fast food and junk food from using their predatory advertising.

Yeah right ... if anything these marketing campaigns are only going to get more influential. If the Feds want to know how to do it right, they should ask dorritos and pepsi for help ... but then again that'll be counterproductive to those companies. Ohhhh how the capitalist train has been doomed from the start.

I never understood why people don't like broccoli, I love the stuff.

I think it is because many people overcook it, thus ruining the texture and making it "icky".
