"Child Food-Porn" (Junk food advertising) makes our children obese & unhealthy
Posted by Devils Advocate in Unhealty Lifestyle on Saturday July 3rd, 2010
Junk food makes our children fat, obese and unhealthy which leads to disease and premature death. It does not kill instantly, only in the long run.
Food Porn” (attractive food devoid of nutritional value) has become prevalent in the last 50 years. It has led to the greatest health epidemic on earth: obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease. ….
Constant exposure of our children to such “food porn” has led to obese children which exacerbates the current public health menace of obesity and sedentarism. |
 Food Porn at its best. Attractive looking worthless unhealthy junk food, expertly made up and photoshopped. |
Making an entire generation of children obese and sick:
|
 5 year old children are totaly incapable of making informed decision about ingestion of junk food. The kid is not to blame. The kid is a victim of irresponsible adults.Adults are 100% to blame for the sorry state of this kid, condemned to a life of obesity. The true responsibility lies with the parents. But industry and society brainwashed the parents into getting bad eating habits themselves. And government neglects its duties by letting all this happen and poison an entire generation of an entire nation.  Early Junk Food Training: Baby eating McDonald's Junk Food |
Analogous to Food Porn, Human-Stupidity.com proposes a new term:
Child Food-Porn
“Child Food-Porn”depictions meant to entice children to consume “Food Porn” (junk food)
Child Food-Porn: depictions of cute lovable cartoon characters with the intent to sell junk food to children. Financial Greed destroying the lives of children
Adults are the only ones to blame for the intentional perversion of children’s mind, for creating habits that will condemn them to a life of obesity and ill health. |
 |
Child Food-Porn must be combatted and eliminated
No more brainwashing children into obesity-causing eating habits
Consumption of “Food-Porn” (junk food) by healty adults and in moderation may be defensible.But advertising such perversion to indoctrinate children is irresponsible.
Seducing children to live a life of obesity. A heinous crimeBut conning gullible children into adapting life threatening bad eating habits (“Child Food-Porn”), this is is plain criminal behavior. Greed that kills! Society should unite in the goal to totally exterminate this abhorrent plague from the face of the earth! With the same fervor & methods child pornography is being fought. Child Food-Porn (pictures to seduce children to eat Food-Porn (junk food)) has absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever. It destroys children’s health and grooms them for future unhealthy eating habits as adults. |

Food Porn arouses Lust for Food with No Nutritional Value
Posted by admin in Unhealty Lifestyle on Saturday July 3rd, 2010
The term “Food Porn” has been around for about 10 years. This expression “Food Porn” deserves to become more popular.
I define pornography as something created and marketed to titillate human pleasure centers (almost always to enrich the purveyors) while offering no redeeming effects on the body, mind or soul of the consumer other than a temporary, short-term satisfaction of the more base human appetites.
Food porn, then, is food which has been calculatingly created and marketed to satisfy our food lusts while offering little to no benefit—and usually harm—to the body, mind and soul.
Our fast food is usually food porn, as is much of the food found in our chain restaurants. Our supermarkets, however, are also brimming with food porn. If you can imagine a supermarket layout in your mind, I would classify the great majority of items in the isle sections as food porn (the stuff on the periphery tends to be more good than bad—think whole foods).
Food porn, like common porn, takes the basic form of something good, but in reality it is something artificial, fake and full of illusion. I know you know what the common porn is trying to simulate, but what food porn is trying to simulate is simply real food.
Take bread. Bread is good, right? You know, the staff of life? I invite you to go and look at the list of ingredients of 90% of the varieties of bread in the center isles of your supermarket, which I insist are not bread at all, but food porn.

Great description. I could not write it better. Congratulations!
Just as Porn is fake unreal sex, food porn is unreal food.
“Food Porn” has become prevalent in the last 50 years, and led to the greatest health epidemic on earth: obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease.
No real-world greasy fat-dripping Big Mac looks as sexy as this beauty on this food porn advertising photo! Unreal beauty to seduce like photoshopped porn stars.
If the casserole is missionary style, food porn takes its devotees into the foodie kama sutra. It glistens. It drips. It uses props. It is both lusty and intimate. For those who partake, it is an obsession. skinnygourmet.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-is-food-porn.html
Food Porn just as damaging to society as Sexual Porn?
There exists another pornography just as insidious as the common kind, and just as damaging to society. The only difference is that we’ve societally accepted this other kind wholesale. Nearly all of us partake of it, and dare I say, are addicted to it. www.utahpeoplespost.com/opinion/2986/the-other-pornography
I beg to differ! 30% of the population overweight and suffering from disesases, premature death and early retirement due to disease., This is just as damaging as porn?
Food Porn (junk food with no nutritional values) kills Millions per year. Does Sex Porn kill Millions of people every year?
Repression of sexual Porn is a puritan religious crusade. I don’t want to get into detail if sexual Porn might even be positive (sex education, rape prevention, psychological outlet). Or if it is neutral. Or, maybe it is really detrimental for family life and for wasting valuable time. But damage is very unclear. Sexual porn is very unlikely to take lives or to totally destroy the health of its “addicts’ like diabetes or heart attack would.
Food Porn (junk food) is proven to be the worst public health menace we have. Together with lack of exercise, it causes obesity and diseases in a major percentage of our children and youth. Food Porn causes serious diseases and death in adults. And Food Porn reduces quality of life due to overweight and obesity.
Childhood Obesity Promotion: Cartoon characters attract kids to junk food

Junk Food entices our children to destroy their health
Human Stupidity at its finest: We crate our children to be unhealty fat and sedentary. We actively entice children to become unhealty!
In the study, which is published this week in the journal Pediatrics, Roberto and her colleagues presented 40 children ages 4 to 6 with paired samples of graham crackers, gummy fruit snacks, and baby carrots. Each pair of sample foods was identical down to the clear packaging, except that one of the packages had a sticker of Shrek, Dora the Explorer, or Scooby Doo on it.
Between 50 percent and 55 percent of the children said that the food with the sticker on it tasted better than the same food in the plain package. (The percentage varied with each food.) And between 73 percent and 85 percent selected the food in the character packaging as the one they’d prefer to eat as a snack.

Study supports motion to pull plug on food porn: Cartoon-adorned packaging catalyzes America’s journey to obesity
Probably everyone knew this already. The interesting thing is that the cause of premature death of about 30% of our population is not reason for concern and for emergency action and emergency legislation.
“Parents may not set out to buy unhealthy products,” says the lead author of the study, Christina Roberto, M.S., a doctoral student at Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, in New Haven, Connecticut. “But kids can be really, really persuasive. They see them and they want them, and it gets difficult to have that battle in the grocery store.”

Should Parents of Obese Kids Lose Custody?
Posted by admin in Unhealty Lifestyle on Saturday December 26th, 2009
But obesity appears to be the primary reason South Carolina mom Jerri Gray lost custody of her 14-year-old, 555-lb. son in May. She was arrested after missing a court date to examine whether she should retain custody after doctors had expressed concern about her son’s weight to social services. The boy is currently living with his aunt, and his mother is facing criminal child-neglect charges. [...]“It’s happening more than the public is aware of, but because these cases are usually kept quiet [as a result of child-privacy laws], we have no record,” says Dr. Matt Capehorn, who sits on the board of the U.K.’s National Obesity Forum.

Parents have an obligation to care for their little children. Parents face legal sanctions or loss of paternal rights if they do not provide basic care for their children, for example if children are
- undernourished
- unkept and dirty
- truant missing school education.
It actually makes a lot of sense, to add this list
- morbid obesity, obviously.
- Unless if proven it is not the parent’s fault andit persists after
- medical
- nutritional
- and physical education interventions.
- Unless if proven it is not the parent’s fault andit persists after
The epidemic of obesity that kills more people then all wars together, needs more serious attention. Actually, any lack of movement, any overweight should be considered abuse. The child has no recourse against it, and when it is a fat overweight diabetic adult it is too late.
Of course, this suggestion to require responsible parenting contradicts all the
Faulty government policy regarding obesity & other health hazards (alcohol, …)
- Promote interest of big beef farmers.
- Let Coca Cola and McDonalds reign and advertise to children without health warnings.
- it is totally insane that the government does not have EMERGENCY plans against all these health epidemics.`Rather, government should be engaged in
- promotion of healthy nutrition
- natural,
- low salt,
- high in vitamins, l
- low in sugar,
- little additives
- people should NEVER imbibe enough alcohol to get drunk or even tipsy. Alcohol should be taken like in mediterranean countries (Italy, France) who have a tradition of taking one glass of wine with meals. Society should shun people who drink excessively and get drunk.
- promotion of healthy exercise
- there should be government emergency programs to promote exercise for children and adults.
- promotion of healthy nutrition
Why do we eat bowel-cancer-causing bacon sandwiches?
Posted by Against Irrational Unconscious in Unhealty Lifestyle on Wednesday May 6th, 2009
A different take on the age 0ld issue: why do people smoke, eat unhealty. Why don’t they listen to health advice about dangers that happen in the far future.
While the article does not give clear good answers, nevertheless it gives some funny and interesting suggestions.

The threat from bacon sandwiches gave the opportunity for The Sun to produce the classic headline “Careless pork costs lives”, while the Daily Telegraph was true to form and frothed on about the nanny-state denying us our bacon birthright.
But all these health warnings tend to have little influence on behaviour, just as scientific derision for homeopathy appears to have no effect on many people’s enthusiasm.
