TheAgitator.com: Sullum on Teletubbies: Comments
The Agitator has become a weekly read and Radley Balko has been banging on the food police of late. Today he quotes Jacob Sullum of Reason mag fame.
Since rising weight trends appeared in adults before they showed up among children, it looks like kids are imitating their parents' habits. "For better or worse," Zywicki said, "kids eat what their parents eat."
In his book Food Fight, Yale obesity expert Kelly Brownell—who, like Kunkel, wants to eliminate advertising to children—says, " It is easy to blame parents." No, it's not. It is easy to blame big corporations. Blaming parents means expecting them to take an active role in monitoring their kids' diets.
