How many corporations are anti-family? |
|
Like the food industry. They sell happy meals and other items focused for kids and at ludicrously high prices, knowing the kids will terrorize the parents with "I want this!" "Give me that!" "Wah wah wah!" "I'll hate you forever if I can't have it!" and other Reagan-era comments. And we all know that the parents could easily cook something HEALTHY instead. Those "kids meals" are all sugar and fat anyway. Can you spell "obese"?
Also notice the toy industry. Considering how long it is before the child, due to basic inquisitive nature, will eventually dump the expensive toy for a string of paper clips glued to a pencil...
And note how many are tied into those childrens' "educational" programs... Gee, if they renamed the show from "Sesame Street" to "Elmo's World", do you think anybody would notice?!
