Individualism taken to the insane.

“How the next generation of your society is raised is none of your business”. Take some ownership

It's insane individualism to think other ppl don't get to dictate what kind of food people feed their kids?

Yes 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.

We 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.

I 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.

I can simultaneously criticize your parenting and not want the government to "dictate" it be otherwise.

"I say whatever I want and people can't tell me to stfu" who is the insane individualist now?

Who are you quoting?

The collective well-being of the society I live in is my business.

Gee 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.

Well that's just like, my opinion man

All of society is impacted by terrible parents who raise terrible kids.

As 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

As a white man/parent in America - same!

Lol 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.

please refrain from personal attacks, it makes the discussion unpleasant to read.

Is it your business to tell AndrewKemendo what his business is?

It 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.
