The things we eat can give us heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and just overall shorten our lives.

And on the other side of the coin, certain foods can stop us from getting cancer and heart disease.
Like smokers in certain Asian countries not getting cancer like Americans do (scientists say its from green tea and other things.)

Instead of bashing this conversation on how to help our children live longer, why not join it ??

LOL What about the main underlying issue? Folks with no impulse control who don't exercise or are not active? They will still consume mass quantities of food.

You can't regulate this. It is asinine.

The food they eat is what makes them hungry.

What worked? Would you be a smoker if there wasn't a warning label on a pack of cigarettes?

I do think we should cut down on sweets, but the pop law makes Bloomberg look like an officious ass.

And I'm a liberal.
