I got lost forever when someone said Mountain Dew given to infants isn't detrimental. I think that, all by itself, proves the thread.
You have proof giving a small amount to an infant will kill them?
I also said many other very important things, but you didn't bother reading them or commenting on them. You took away one small point I made and it is 100% accurate.
You have proof that giving a small amount of crack to an infant will kill them?
Soda actually IS detrimental, or at least that is what my PHYSICIAN told me back when she informed me that kids are obese with rickets. Soda strips calcium out of the system.
But sure, whatever floats your boat. I never said it should be a child endangerment charge, but just that we would do well to educate people. I'm not trying to limit your cup size, bro.0 -

Well, crack is illegal and not the same chemical make up of soda, so that's not even close to a comparison.
Your physician told you and that's just it. That's all. The word of some random doctor that you saw. That's not proof and there's zero context to the statement of which part of soda strips calcium or how much. Context is important, not blanket statements. Once again, small amounts of soda is not detrimental.
Also, I'm a woman not a "bro".0 -
Yeah, steady intake of soda holds calcium in the bloodstream and keeps uptake from the bones. A small amount of it won't do that. It doesn't actually 'strip' calcium out of the system, it just stops the uptake.
I'm a little confused by the statement 'kids are obese with rickets'. That's actually two different disorders.0 -

Yesterday I caught an ad for Lipton Iced Tea geared to kids that pushed me to write to the company. It shows cartoon characters at a picnic and one holds up a glass of water and complains that it has no taste, the solution is to drink Lipton Iced Tea because it has flavor. I know in the past cereal companies and junk food companies have taken heat---but it is so wrong on so many levels to put out to kids that drinking water is wrong!!!
End of rant!
How would you suggest companies sell their products if they don't advertise? That's kind of the point....0 -
Does no one realize it takes water to make tea...
There's no harm in 'doctoring' your water IF you can't stomach the mineral taste of plain water. Plain water literally makes my husband sick enough to vomit. So he brews tea, or dilutes lemonade, or adds a splash of Cranberry Apple Raspberry to iced water, or if he's in a super hurry, he'll pick a flavored seltzer water.
Wondering. OP did you write to Kool-Aid, Tang, Country Time, Hawaiian Punch, Ovaltine, Swiss Miss, Crystal Light, etc, etc, etc, as well?0 -
I think we should stop blaming the media for our poor food choices or the choices we lay in front of our children. If you teach them from the beginning to eat whole good foods, fruits and veggies etc. they will appreciate them. The same with water! My children have never had another option besides water with any meal, unless we are out to dinner or at a relative or friends home. Nor have I ever pushed my bad eating habits on my children. They both are disgusted when I eat McDonalds....0

It goes back to an earlier comment I made. My son's doctor was telling me that they are seeing children who are obese with rickets, which is actually something they have never seen before. Rickets comes from malnutrition. So.... obese and malnourished.
The thing that fascinates me about this thread is how resistant people are to CONSUMERS contacting a company with a complaint. That is not anti free market or anything, it's actually quite participatory. Also, nobody is trying to take your stuff away or tell you how to behave. Nor are they trying to raise your kids. Just the free market at work, same as if you don't buy something because you don't like it.
Ever boycott a business? Ever make a complaint about something you bought? Same thing.0 -
Maybe we should make soda illegal.0

Why the F do so many people refer to you as a male? I've never once saw your avatars in the forums and thought "that's a man". I am actually kind of flabbergasted.
I don't know. The best one was my stomach fat thread where the girl got really upset because her kids ruined her body and I wouldn't know what that's like...yeah, I have two of my own. 0 -
Are you serious?!?!?! Someone was hysterical enough to do that?Which one of you wrote me about 6 personal messages about how dumb I am, and how I'm a fat dumb *kitten*? I can't remember now. Pity MFP is so full of twits and bullies. It certainly makes me hate the threads, so much hostility over so little.
Wow. Just wow.

This seems like unnecessary drama. If you did get a nasty message you know who sent it. We don't actually put up with people being mean like that, so if you did get a nasty message instead of bringing it up to increase drama please send a message to a moderator like Olivia http://www.myfitnesspal.com/Olivia

I have not seen the ad, but I agree that the concept is wrong. Children don't need caffeine, or to see ads telling that water is tasteless. Children learn from everything they see. This sounds like a very irresponsible ad.
as if kids have jobs and can buy this stuff on their own ..
be a parent and say "no, you can't have that" …
