Amen. I'm sure the food industry would be arguing, "but we're not making everyone eat junk, it's their decision. We're just being aggresive and competative so we can battle each other for market share." That may be true, but if that's the case, then we need an equally strong "lobby" (for the lack of a better word) on behalf of nutrition. How much money do farmers and their marketing boards have to advertise, compared to Nestle, Frito-Lay and Coca-Cola?

IMHO, the food industry *is* to blame for the paradigm shift in attitude. Example: the ever-increasing "value meals" at fast food joints. They're redefined a normal meal. I'm stunned at the number of young people who think that eating junk all the time is *normal*.
