And march them at gunpoint to buy from them? Don't you teach your kids about nutrition?

yes i teach my kids about nutrition..duh, then i can sit them down with the choices of vegetables or a candy bar.. 9 times out of ten they say .. hmm .. first i eat the vegetables then i can have the candybar.. but how many snack machines do you see with something other than crap in them?? they get tired of eating what's 'good' for them and want what everyother kid has.. 9 times out of ten its genetically modified CRAP. kids have a hard time believing that if its sold in stores its often BAD for them.. its me against advertising GIANTS .. i spend a lot of time deprogramming

Who is "they"? Oh, and I have plenty of my own choices.

teachers with decades experience can tell you that kids attention spans have dropped dramatically .. why? TV, Video games, fast food etc.. anything that has to do with instant gratification. look at the difference between, say now and when the constitution was written.. back then people could listen to a 2-4 hour lecture through a meal and not get bored.. people READ the paper and wrote letters.. literacy and attention span reduction is a benefit that major advertisers are using to the full extent.. not to mention polititians.

That is a mentality we bring from our days as pack hunters. Leader steps up, others follow. Its how the world works.

so how does that support your arguement that people make thier own choices? it doesn't, that idea supports the idea that people are NOT making thier own choices.. sheesh.
i still like the pithed fish concept.. remove the brain of one schooling fish and the others will follow him!
i can't help but think of GWB.. brainless wonder.. the statement that supreme ignorance leads to supreme confidence really fits well.
