More Freedom Loving Lefties On The March

[NoDrama]

Here's a couple sources I found in a couple key strokes:
http://www.webmd.com/parenting/news/20040105/fast-food-creates-fat-kids
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/113/1/132

Show me your sources...

From the very first link, first sentence, 100% proves my point and 100% disproves yours.

When kids eat fast food, they eat more food all day long, a new study shows.

You would consume so much fiber, you would be full before consuming that many calories.... Your arguments here are VERY weak, in the face of medical and scientific data.....

What makes kids fat? Thats an easy question. Eating more calories than one expends is what makes you fat. You can get fat eating fruits and vegetables. FTW

 

[Serapis]

Uh, actually, no it doesn't.... unless you have changed your stance, here is a quote from it..

The fats, sugar, and salt in fast food draw kids like a magnet, largely because they appeal to a child's "primordial tastes," explains Bowman. This taste triggers more eating later in the day. And, because fast food doesn't contain much fiber, kids don't feel full afterward -- so they eat more later.

From the very first link, first sentence, 100% proves my point and 100% disproves yours.

sugary junk foods and drinks have little to no nutritional value. Because they lack fiber, the brain isn't triggered to feel full, causing them to over eat.... had they eaten foods with fiber, the brain receives the all full signal...

So you concede the argument, thank you. At least Canndo and I can agree that junk food does not make kids fat. At least one person has a clue.

I believe we agree that junk food CAN make kids fat. Do we not?

 

[NoDrama]

The Bill of Rights is an amendment to what? who doesn't know the constitution? ROFL..... please....

Show me where it says in the Constitution that it is giving you rights.

 

[NoDrama]

I believe we agree that junk food CAN make kids fat. Do we not?

No, we cannot. EATING junk food might make you fat, but just junk food in itself does not.

You don't get it. you have to EAT the junk food in order to get fat, just the fact that junk food exists is not making kids fat. For some reason you people are blaming the food, you are putting the cart before the horse.

 

[Serapis]

Look up the bill of rights dude.... Bill of "RIGHTS" is the first amendments to the what? CONSTITUTION...... ever hear of constitutional rights? Wow....

At least I know now what I am up against

Show me where it says in the Constitution that it is giving you rights.

 

[Serapis]

Now you are playing semantics and changing the debate.... just as you always do....

Go eat 20 avocados a day, see if you get fat. 280 calories for each one, 42% fat content. good luck staying skinny.

 

[canndo]

Oh forgodsake. Sure, if we leave that hamburger on the plate it cannot make us fat. Now what is the point? We know that fast food is either accidentaly or intentionaly designed to have us pick the burger up and eat it. Fat, salt and sugar are desired by humans because those were the most rare things and the most economic in terms of calories over labor.

 

[Serapis]

Ever hear of a balanced diet? ?Your argument keeps looking sillier and sillier...

I haven't changed anything, my point has been the same throughout the whole thread. You people are blaming the food, when you should be blaming the parents, the teachers and the kids themselves for making such poor choices. But its much easier to demonize the object of desire isn't it?

 

[NoDrama]

DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! Eating a healthy balanced diet will keep you from getting fat!!!!!!!

Thanks for proving my point 100 times better than I ever could.

why are the libtards arguing the value of sugar in gettig fat. the LAW is you, as a parent, cant pack your kids lunch. arguing the value of soda or any other thing, is not the point at all.

big brother is telling you, you dont have the right to tell your kids what to eat. and you dont have a problem?

let me tell the kids they cant have an abortion and watch the libtard arguments. you people are sick and it aint from sugar...

i am starting a public school next week. you arent allowed to bring your lunch but the nurse has to perform abortions on demand for any student over 16. this would be a lib dream school.

 

[Serapis]

No, your point hasn't been the same throughout the thread, you are now changing it to say uneaten Junk food doesn't cause obesity,,,, DUH!!!!!! Here is what you said on page one, which is contradictory....

You think when these kids go home they are going to eat healthy because you took away their lunch? No, they will binge eat the fuck out of the junk they have at home. Things will get worse and people will be less free. Government cannot and should not ever make personal choices for people.

Fat salt and sugar are not bad for you. In fact you would die without fat and salt.

Thank you for reducing your argument down to what most of us here already agree to. Yes, most here agree that banning packed lunches is extreme. Can we close this silly thread now?

 

[Serapis]

That is hardly a law.... it is a poor decision of a school administrator... If the parents want, they can probably get it overturned in a court or school board hearing... This is hardly big brother at all.... And to insinuate that the left is for abortions for kids is just plain asinine....

I don't believe there is an age provision in the Constitution. The reason children cannot buy tobacco or alcohol is because the states have outlawed it.

Yes, but the federal gov manipulated the drinking age through federal mandates for some states
