Think about it. When our generation, being the tail end of the baby boomers, was growing up, we watched Popeye. How did Popeye become strong? By eating "me spinach."
Who do our kids have? In this fast food nation, they are bombarded with fast food commercials. McDonalds definitely had it right...at least on the marketing end. Do you know why they market so heavily to kids? Because kids bring their parents so the check is bigger.
How do we undo the brainwashing on our kids? There are somewhat radical methods, like having them watch the Meatrix, http://www.themeatrix.com, an animation that talks about the dangers of factory farms. At the end, however, it's all about educating ourselves so that we can educate our children about how to eat a whole foods diet. After all, we are their role models.
