Yeah... ask some homeless guy how coddled and nannied he feels. If you can't find one, come to Ohio. We have plenty.
No, we do have self-control and we do have common sense, but we also have 21st century ADVERTISING.
Take a look at the advertising that you watch. I mean REALLY look at it. The message isn't subliminal anymore. It's right there, reprogramming you and your kids to think differently.
Advertising is all about memes and abusing memes. Think about how many commercials use sex to sell products that have absolutely nothing to do with dating / relationships / sex. Think about commercials that target kids. I saw a cool-aid commerical the other day that looked more like an advertisement for a water-slide park than a beverage commercial.
So, I don't believe it's a matter of common sense. It's a matter of pervasive advertising. Even most things that are advertised as being healthy aren't. How many sugar cereals are touted as "part of this complete breakfast"?
What's the answer? Understand more about memes and how advertising abuses them. Understand more about health. Understand more about what you put into your body and why.
