  1. "Most people" can't read the label on a jar or bottle let alone comprehend and agree on "junk food".

    EVERYTHING with "high fat", sugar and/or salt and/or sugar content IS of questionable nutritional value. See what i mean.. :D

    As for your last statement.. so you admit you don't have a f^cking clue what junk food is.. or the converse what is good nutrition. let alone WTF to ban, and you were talking out your azz prematurely, again? :D

  2. I really don't know whether you are being intentionally obtuse or whether you are genuinely an idiot. Either way, please be assured that my regard for you remains the same.

  4. i assure you i am not deliberately obtuse,
    probably an idiot. so what's junk food? Or the converse, what is good nutrition? you stated you want to ban the advertising of junk food to children. i ask you what IS junk food.. you say most people understand (are YOU in category of "most people?").. and then YOU say we need a committee of authorities to tell us so which is it?? :Dhaven't they al;ready told us :D

    WHAT JUNK FOOD DO YOU WISH TO BAN?? ROFL

    What do THEY say?

  9. What’s the sense in banning? Okay, so you don’t want your kids smoking, drinking, doing drugs – I understand. But banning does quite the opposite. I think exposing but educating is the best way to approach it. Sit your kids down when they are in their early teens and make them smoke a cigarette. I don’t think they’ll touch another one (given that they aren’t surrounded by smokers). As young teens they are young enough to be impacted by the cigarette and old enough to understand what it does. Face it, your kids will (likely) drink before 21, they will (likely) have sex before marriage, etc. Instead of teaching your kids not to drink or have sex why not teach them to not drink and drive, and to have protected sex as opposed to the harsh DON’T DRINK, DON’T HAVE SEX, which will only peak your kids curiosity?

    Happy Valentines Day!
