Pony, nowhere in my post did I mention anything about minorities.
Personally, I feel as an adult you have every right to go ahead and consume what you want so long as it's not going to directly affect others. I've been obese, and I was lucky enough at age of 13 that I recognized my problem and did something about it through diet and proper exercise. As I've aged, I see that that large corporations prey upon the vulnerability and spending power of young Americans; and it starts with toddlers.
Case in point, when my son was three, I was at a drive thru ATM and from the back seat I hear my son say "Donalds"... I look back and he's pointing through the window across the street to the ol' golden arches. How the fuck did my son know that shit? Because McDonald's is a proud sponsor of Dora The Explorer and all those other "educational" Nick Jr. shows. As a parent who refuses to let his child have that shit on a regular basis, I've taken my son to McD's once in the last 3 years. Like you mentioned, it's my responsibility, and I hope he learns what his body is worth and to not make the ingestion of crap a common practice.
