This is like pushing abstinence education to end teen pregnancy.

  Actually, it's like saying "you can have sex, just wear a condom and don't have sex with every person that asks; use a little self-control."

    That sounds a lot more complicated than 'eat less'.

  Like fuck it is. Sex can be a fun and healthy activity, and it's something teenagers can do to enjoy themselves. Simply be aware of the risks, and be sensible. Likewise, eating can be fun and pleasurable, but be aware of the risks and make sensible decisions. Deliberately making food less nutritious so that you can shovel more of it into your mouth is akin to bulimia without the vomiting. Doing it should be a big loud alarm inside someone's head, but if they're damaged enough already to seriously consider it, it probably doesn't. Helping these people indulge themselves is grotesque.

    >Simply be aware of the risks, and be sensible. By their nature of being underage, they cannot understand the risks and be sensible. We can help so they won't have completely crazy ideas such as Mnt. Dew being a contraceptive, but they cannot be fully informed nor make the best decisions. >Likewise, eating can be fun and pleasurable, but be aware of the risks and make sensible decisions. Considering the multi-billion dollar industry making it as fun and pleasurable as possible so you won't make sensible decisions, this doesn't seem like a fair challenge.

      Sounds like "pushing abstinence education to end teen pregnancy" is not like adults making sensible decisions about what they put in the hole in the front of their face, then.
