/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The problem isn't kids. It's cheaper, faster, and easier to go to McD's than buying veg at the market and cooking them at home. Fast food and junk food are scientifically, psychologically designed to get you addicted, desire other foods less, fill you up temporarily, and make you crave more later. Parents instill the habit of eating fast food at a young age, so by the time they are old enough to eat on their own they don't know better and will continue eating garbage. Not to mention the fact there are "urban deserts" where you can't get produce at an affordable price, or even at all. We are creating drug-addicts to caffeine, sugar, HFCS, MSG, etc.
Have you seen how young children act with YouTube? And no I don't mean "those dang kids and their smartphones and cartoons are rotting their brains!" These kids sit in front of a smartphone, staring at the screen, watching these fucked up cartoons and videos of adults playing with candy and toys and all this other literal trash. If you take the phone away, the kids start screaming like you are driving a knife into them. It doesn't matter how long you take the phone away - an hour, a day, a week - they will STILL want the phone to see these addictive videos.
My sister and her son are devastating. They live in the inner city and whenever I go to her house the pantry is full of gushers, sugary cereal, ramen noodles, pop tarts, chips, etc. Just snack foods and candy, no "real food." Her fridge is just a cheese and milk cooler, I've never seen any meat or veg in there. And her son is an obese mess like her. I will come to visit my nephew and he won't acknowledge me, or his mom. He will stare at his phone and won't say a word. Even when it's "lunch" (PB&J sandwich with gushers and pop) he won't say a word. He'll prop his phone up on the table while he eats. He doesn't talk to anyone unless they take away his phone, and he starts bawling like a banshee.
Future kids are going to be guinea pigs and wage-slaves for corporations.

Who the fuck does this? You're either buying it for your kids which is depressing, or for yourself which is more depressing.
