It's also objectively none of your business?
- AndrewKemendo 7mo agoAs a black man in America I can promise you that how you raise your children will objectively be my problem If everybody around me trains their children to be fascists that’s clearly my problem How Society runs is everybody’s business
- bdangubic 7mo agoAs a white man/parent in America - same!
- tqi 7mo agoLol iPad, social media, and processed food consumption is going to be your problem? OP was not talking about values, he was talking about the day to day specifics of child rearing.

- em-bee 7mo agoplease refrain from personal attacks, it makes the discussion unpleasant to read.
- jasonlfunk 7mo agoAll of society is impacted by terrible parents who raise terrible kids.
- 4er_transform 7mo agoIndividualism taken to the insane. “How the next generation of your society is raised is none of your business”. Take some ownership
- tqi 7mo agoIt's insane individualism to think other ppl don't get to dictate what kind of food people feed their kids?
- eudamoniac 7mo agoI can simultaneously criticize your parenting and not want the government to "dictate" it be otherwise.
- tqi 7mo ago"I say whatever I want and people can't tell me to stfu" who is the insane individualist now?
- eudamoniac 7mo agoWho are you quoting?
- 4er_transform 7mo agoYes it is. Kids grow up to run the world, a world I’m going to live in. I have a stake in that. This should be obvious if we take our civilization seriously.
- UncleMeat 7mo agoWe can barely even meaningfully define UPFs, and they aren't cleanly correlated with junk food. Potato Chips are not UPFs but tortillas with an added preservative are. Ice cream purchased at the store that has emulsifiers is a UPF. Homemade ice cream is not. But I think we'd agree that it is the fat and sugar in the ice cream that is the bad part to feed to kids.
- watwut 7mo agoI will go further and say that eating some ice cream does not hurt kids at all. No, you are not a bad parent because you gave your kid ice cream. And fat is completely legitimate part of food. Likewise sacharides.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoThe collective well-being of the society I live in is my business.
- loloquwowndueo 7mo agoGee it’s a discussion forum my dude - people giving opinions on things that would otherwise be none of their business is what it’s for.
- tqi 7mo agoWell that's just like, my opinion man
- tasuki 7mo agoIs it your business to tell AndrewKemendo what his business is?
- array_key_first 7mo agoIt can not be your business and you're allowed to still have opinions on it. It's one thing to discredit opinions you think aren't someone's business - that's fine, maybe even understandable. But everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you can't just make people shut up. It doesn't work like that. If you feed your kid rocks yes I think you are stupid and yes I think you should've worn a condom. Whatever, who cares, listen or don't.
