In Isral and America, we do NOT have 1/2/3 [Notes:<br />1) I did not say in #1 "in school" . I mean ALL advertising of these foods.2)Yes, we have portion labeling (#3), but if you look carefully you will see that I said REAL portion labeling. Often the portions are miniscule by any standard, and people unfortunately don't check.]. <br />3)#4 is just starting, and many countries do not have it.<br /> I still maintain, that in a world where a large percentage of the population is obese, and we have a fast-food culture, taking kids away from their parents is hardly the answer to the obesity epidemic. The reasons for childhood obesity are many, and are often rooted in psychological problems. (I know that I was able to lose weight only after I came to term term with an emotional issue I had with one of my two wonderful parents.(The issue arose not due to anyone being bad, but due to the traumatic stress that one family member endured.)rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186797796234731983.post-67508065695065064802011-09-15T09:32:40.230+03:002011-09-15T09:32:40.230+03:00We already have 2, 3 and 4. 1 has always been res...We already have 2, 3 and 4. 1 has always been restricted.<br /><br />Please don't talk about subjects you're ignorant of.ILoveMongoloidsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186797796234731983.post-70568916382533169912011-09-05T15:38:51.779+03:002011-09-05T15:38:51.779+03:00While I agree with you in principle, there are a l...While I agree with you in principle, there are a lot of parents who don't have a clue.<br /><br />I remember watching an American talk show - I think it might have been Maury (where they ask people who are TOTALLY disfunctional to apply to be on TV) and he was interviewing parents with overweight children. There was a mother and her 2 year old weighed 80 lbs. She fed him whatever he wanted. If he wanted several Big Macs for breakfast, that is what he got. <br /><br />At age 2, his mother did have control of his diet and she seriously needed some lessons on what to feed her child and on how to say NO.Cindy B.noreply@blogger.com
