lol tooooo true. :smiley:

Your mother sounds like a toxic person. I stopped talking to my mother years ago because she is too mean. It was a painful decision but it's much better than hearing such hurtful things all the time from someone who is supposed to give unconditional love. I feel you. My pants only fit slightly better, and I was able to…

bump

Well, she stopped sending me multiple hateful messages so I'm pretty sure she got the point.

Yeah, calling out bullies is so overrated.

lol anyways, paz bro.

Maybe we should make soda illegal.

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…

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…

I read everything DiabolicalColossus writes with a British accent. :smiley:

Quick, somebody google the word "pedantic."

I got lost forever when someone said Mountain Dew given to infants isn't detrimental. I think that, all by itself, proves the thread.

Did I mention the word conspiracy? Nope. I don't see anything except really crappy ads, unhappy consumers, and a lot of fat kids.

So... is anyone arguing that the Lipton ad is a good ad? Or that selling toy meth crystals is a good idea? lol

Are you okay? This is about education. That's it, that's all. Why would you be upset because some people think the Lipton ad is inappropriate? It is inappropriate and chances are those same people are educating their children about advertisements. But so what? So they want to effect change and ensure that other kids learn…

So some lady decides to write Lipton about an ad that teaches kids the wrong thing. So what?

That's a nice perspective. However, in 30 years we are going to have a whole lot of cost associated with the choices people make. So that kind of makes you responsible for other people's kids. Even if you're strictly Libertarian, you would still have to deal with a very badly-functioning society where nearly everyone has…

Agreed.

Yeah, other adults shouldn't matter. But they do. Your kid isn't in a bubble. You give your kids the tools they need to safely navigate through this world, but 1. other kids don't always have knowledgeable parents and 2. if parents were the only influence on kids, programs like "abstinence only" would actually work. Just…

Hmm, let me think. I've seen people put Mountain Dew in baby bottles. I've seen people feed McDonald's burgers to their toddlers. I knew a family when I was a kid where every drink was Pepsi and the kids all had caps on every tooth. When my son was little, he was having troubles with his belly. We had to go to the doctor…

Lipton is tea? I think it's fair to discuss what kinds of ads kids are exposed to. For one thing, how many ADULTS are even aware of what foods/drinks are healthy? Sure, we all know veggies are good for you but many people are unaware of just how bad BAD food is. Let's face it, pinning it all on personal responsibility is a…

I figured it would be different. My goal is between 180 and 190. :) I am not losing weight super fast, somewhere between a pound and two pounds per week.

Uhm, no. I have not been shown how.

Thank you very much.

Yes, we are talking about me and how I can get there.

I want to lose fat. But I do not want to lose my strength. Also, thank you for the reasonable response.

I like the word fallacy. Someone said "try it and get back to us" as though it were impossible. Obviously not impossible.

Yes, thank you. So can I maintain (or increase) my strength while on a calorie deficit/losing fat?

Thank you.

lol I'm not abnormally strong for a Nordic lass.
