DIETARY ABUSE

Just saw on Japanese tv something I can, yet cannot, believe is currently (according to the tv program) a BIG hit with youngsters in the US: dayglo margarine (blue, purple, pink etc.), that is squeezed from a plastic bottle onto whatever and eaten. This bizarre-looking and dietarily abusive product is reflective of so many problematic aspects of the American diet and its effects on American youth and life, and of the nutritionally neglectful attitude of the US government and US corporations toward American children, I don't know where to begin... Enlightening US parents' comments on the subject can be found here.
