7. I don't remember the numbers exactly

but when my kids were young, I heard a statistic that really got my attention.

The basic idea was that I could talk to my kids about healthy food EVERY DAY for one hour during breakfast, lunch, and dinner for several hundred years and not come close to the number of hours of advertising they will hear for sugary, processed foods.

In other words, what I say would have little effect on their ideas about food.

I put our television in our garage and raised my kids without television.

Repubulicans bought the radio stations, they have FOX that plays EVERYWHERE! We simply can't fight this without an equal presence in the marketplace.

Liberal billionaires need to step up and help us fight Rubert Murdock and the Rush's of the world.
