I wanted to post this so everyone can have a chance to read this on their own and make their own decision. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-f-jacobson/mcdonalds-lawsuit-manipul_b_621503.html I unfortunately believe that we have to do this, big business has left us no other alternative, don't get me wrong I still think we need to hold parents accountable as well. But I am not so sure that big business doesn't have the parents brain washed as well. I watched an unscientific experiment this morning on the news; where they took two baggies and placed fruit snacks in the bag and one one bag they put cartoon stickers and on the other bag it was left blank. The fruit snacks in both baggies were exactly the same kind of fruit, guess which baggie the kids picked, you guessed it, the one with the cartoon stickers on it. This same experiment was done with other snacks such as graham crackers and carrots. The one with carrots was also extremely interesting. On the baggies the baggie contained Dora the explorer stickers and the other bag was left blank, only one of the 5 children picked the Dora bag, the other children said "we are too old for Dora". WHAT!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! This should speak volumes to you!!! It is important for people to question what companies are putting into their food, you would not chose to go out and buy bad ingredients to put into your food, so why would you let someone else put it into your food and not question it!!! Stand up and demand better products and food! Please read the article and make sure to keep an open mind as you read this, maybe if everyone would start demanding better products then these steps may never be necessary!
