C is for a lot less cookies

the only constant in the universe is change......what are you gonna do?

Don't have kids so maybe I'm missing the point here but this really seems like the stupidest thing I've read all week.. (of course the week is young but I think we have a winner already.)

Like you, I don't have any children...but I will say this...

As a child, I watched Sesame Street, I watched Bugs Bunny cartoons, and I watched the live action Shazam series...

Not once, did I ever think I could eat cookies whenever I felt like it, think I could fall off of a cliff and crawl out of the big whole I made without a scratch, or that I could fly!

Once again, the "powers that be" have decided not to tackle the real issue ( bad parenting ), and change something near and dear to my childhood memories ( that will have no effect whatsoever concerning the problem of child obesity in this country ).

For cryin' out loud...turn off the TV, turn off the computer, put away the Gameboy, and send the kids outside to play! Burn off those calories ( and excess energy )!

Oh...wait a minute...that would mean the parents would have to take time out of their precious lives, and supervise their children while they are out playing. I guess that solution is out!

So they have PSAs telling KIDS that they should straighten up. Yet, nothing for the adults.
