Constant exposure of our children to such “food porn” has led to obese children which exacerbates the current public health menace of obesity and sedentarism.

Food-Porn: food which has been calculatingly created and marketed to satisfy our food lusts without nutritional benefits.

Making an entire generation of children obese and sick:

a heinous crime against humanity Humans have an inborn genetic evolutionary propensity to like sweets and fat. This was useful in the stone-age savanna and forest in order to pick the sweetest ripest fruits and to enjoy the fat of occasional lean game meat. Nowadays, in the age of the supermarket with unlimited butter, oil, lard, and sugar, this maladaptive evolutionary heritage has to be countered by education and formation of good habits. Instead the opposite is happening: Children’s gullibility gets abused. Children are the target of ruthless advertising campaigns to make them even eat even more junk then the would eat naturally. Instead of teaching children wise choices, instead of making children into future healthy citizens, they systematically get turned into fat unhealthy monsters. Greedy marketers and spineless mis-informed parents create a publich health desaster. I call this a crime against humanity. We knowingly destroy the lives of our children. We are poisoning our children with junk, condemning them to a life of disease! There is something wrong about our system: we can fly to the moon, we can do open heart surgery, but we cannot feed our children right? And we can not prepare them to eat right and lead a healthy life? This is a public emergency which needs all our resources to solve. Of course, maybe we ourselves need to start eating right, too, before we teach our children.
