As a society, I think it would help if we could surrender some of our “freedom”....... if it serves a greater cause overall.
I will list examples where this type of impinging has been employed.
Liquor and tobacco.
They have put constraints on its advertising.
Is this a good idea, or bad?
I believe the motivation was good, in hoping it might stem some of the effects of glamorizing the product.
Would you agree?
It’s not punitive, even tho it can very well
Lead to loss of revenue.
With this in mind, do you think we should use the same reasoning for food?
I know looking at a commercial can spark me into wanting to eat some chips and dip, or go grab a burger....
These foods can be killers as well.
The number one cause of death is diet related.
Our society presently is represented by over 60% of adults as being obese...
That cost ALL of us.
It’s not a cure, for sure, but if it works on stemming tobacco and alcoholism, should this be a possible option as well?
I believe Michele Obama was hoping to launch awareness to a higher level, but that is a pretty big lobby, and hungry crowd, to overcome.
Your thoughts?
