Childhood Obesity and Avatar posted on January 7, 2010

I was sent this article via email and thought you might find it interesting. 
The good parents and folks who care about children in Arkansas are becoming active surrounding food offered in school lunches to children.  They use the movie, Avatar, to make the point that while on the planet, Pandora, there are no fast food restaurants in sight.  In today’s world on earth, the film’s characters are coupled with junk food marketed to children encouraging food with high fat content, disposable paper products, and one wonders of the dissonance between the message of the movie and the marketing of the movie.  Would any of the Navi serve up a Big Mac with fries to their kids?

Read the article to get your parental ideas flowing about media literacy, age inappropriate movie/food tie-ins, and what you can advocate online with digital media to make this better for your kids in a world that is filled with people who care, like us!

Bravo MD’s and caring parents in Arkanas for getting on board for their kids and continuing to try to make things better.

with blessings for the common good,
Pastor Robin
