NB Commentary: Why Do We Blame Our Children? (Video)

When our youth carry on, act out, embarrass us and create chaos, 

why do we blame them?

Why do we lock them away, put them on time out, punish and discipline them as if it's their fault? As adults, aren't we responsible for the world they are born into? And if we don't like the world they are born into, don't we have the responsibility to change it?

No it ain't easy... But blaming the victim ain't right either.

When we have a child as the CEO of McDonald's, Burger King, ExxonMobil, Apple, Tetris, ToysRUs, Signa, GE, Warner Bros., MSNBC, Time Warner, Disney, Dept. Of Education, CDC, DHS, ClearChannel, Google, YouTube, and a host of other operations that conspire against the health and well being of our children.. we cannot continue to blame them!

They are acting out because they were born into an environment that is not child friendly or child safe. They are born into an environment that sees children as fodder. They are born into an environment that counts them in their think tanks, not as collateral damage but the actual damage, the actual casualty of a real war. A war that guarantees they will act out, be sick, mentally deranged and eventually discarded as cast off  OR they will line up behind the conspiracy and perpetrate this same exact strategy of chaos, tension and death on their offspring until the entire planet is covered with decaying misguided destructive frequencies guarantying that the human mind and spirit will not rise up from the ashes but will be struck down for eternity. Hell is not under the earth. Hell is not after we die. Hell is right here on top of the earth and we create and recreate it every day for our children, who will grow up and do the same for theirs. We cannot continue to blame the children. We have to look in the mirror. Actually, we need to take that mirror of vanity down. We need to look at our creation. Our children.

We need to "SEE" them. We need to have compassion, empathy and understanding for them. We need to stop charging them with crimes when we allowed them to be born into a criminal society. We need to stop locking them up and in some cases throwing away the key in prison that we built just for them. We need to take the chains off their feet and out of their minds so they can thrive and be healthy.  We need to stop prostituting our children for consumption, avarice, greed and materialism and take them to the park and teach them about how a tree grows.

We need to change the role models they see that are destroying their own sense of self and understanding of the spiritual beings they are. We need to take them out of the religious institutions of brain washing and mind fuck and let them watch the sun rise. We need to honor their dreams and ask them to tell us what they are and help them understand them. We need to keep them away from all things harmful, including zoos, circuses, and amusement parks.

We need to teach them how to grow food, cook a meal, iron a shirt, clean a bathroom, pick a peach from a peach tree and manage their health.

We need to avoid all types of violence around them, including wars, road rage, cursing and violent video games. We need to throw away our televisions and monitor the amount of time they have on their digital devices.

We need to stop celebrating all holidays and create our own family and community gatherings. Any holidays that honor war, war criminals, injustice, pedophiles, and corruption should be avoided at all costs. We should teach them how to sweep the yard and sew their own clothes.

Why do we continually blame our youth for the shit they do and the chaos they cause, especially our pre-teens and teens? Why are we kicking them out of schools, writing statics with their recidivism in mind, arranging chairs in court rooms for their conviction and scientifically generating drugs for their intake?

Why do they rebel? They rebel because they realize that we are liars, fraudsters, fakes, perpetrators, perverts and unethical scum. They realize that we will continue to blame them and call them stupid for not abiding by the code of the destructive environment we have created for them.

How can we blame them, how can we fault them, how can we punish them? We are asking them to become the zombified skitzoid vampire that we have become being born into this environment. We are asking them to eat poison mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and be as grateful as we are to have it. So they rebel, and they should.

They should fight the corruption they see around them. they have the courage to stand up to the injustice. They have the courage we lost when we conformed. They have the ability to see beyond the veil and beyond our hypocrisy and the flagrant lie we tell to ourselves each and every day. They are struggling to be sane in this very insane world run by delusional people who think it makes sense to poison the air, water and earth. They are struggling with how to be sane in an insane world that cannot see the connection between hypocrisy and the resulting torment, corruption, displacement and distortion that it creates.

They don't want to do their homework or go outside and do something when they see their parents sit in the work place all day and come home and sit on the couch all night. They don't want to listen to our demands and commands when we do not listen to theirs. And what is theirs you may ask??

They want to feel safe, they want to be protected they want to live freely, they want to expand their consciousness they want to explore their imagination and they want to have a world that is supportive and okay with that.

This world is not.... unless you live on some primitive island far from the commercial destruction of this planet. Otherwise, there is no place for them to feel safe. So they will give into the first law of nature, self preservation and fight overtly or covertly, but they will fight until they either die, or give in. What other option do they have when adults won't take responsibility for what they have done to the Earth they brought their children into?

And on a side note, if we continue to vote into office openly corrupt people to lead us, we are driving a stake through the hearts of our children and we really have not right to blame them in any way.

MOM: Typically, the more a parent clamps down, the more the child rebels. In adulthood, this can result in one of two extremes. One is that the kid remains in a state of rebellion into adulthood and has trouble making a successful life because of it. The other side we see is that when these rebellious kids become adults and have their own children they are very strict –probably overly strict– parents and it’s very hard for them to have a happy medium.

Nana's Commentary

After sharing the video on how Fast Food has changed the world, it seems only fitting to share "The Dark Side of the All-American Meal with my readers..... Watch the video, read the book.

FAST FOOD NATION

(Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (2001) is a book by investigative journalist Eric Schlosser that examines the local and global influence of the United States fast food industry.^[3])

AUDIO BOOK

Published on Aug 21, 2013

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (2001) is a book by investigative journalist Eric Schlosser that examines the local and global influence of the United States fast food industry.

First serialized by Rolling Stone in 1999, the book has drawn comparisons to Upton Sinclair's classic muckraking novel The Jungle. The book was adapted into a film of the same name, directed by Richard Linklater.

The book is divided into two sections, "The American Way," which interrogates the beginnings of the Fast Food Nation within the context of post-World War II America; and "Meat and Potatoes," which examines the specific mechanizations of the fast-food industry, including the chemical flavoring of the food, the production of cattle and chickens, the working conditions of beef industry, the dangers of eating meat, and the global context of fast food as an American cultural export.

Fast Food Nation opens with discussion of Carl N. Karcher and the McDonalds brothers, examining their roles as pioneers of the fast-food industry in southern California. This discussion is followed by an examination of Ray Kroc and Walt Disney's complicated relationship as well as each man's rise to fame. This chapter also considers the intricate, profitable methods of advertising to children. Next, Schlosser visits Colorado Springs, CO and investigates the life and working conditions of the typical fast-food industry employee: fast-food restaurants employ the highest rate of low-wage workers, have among the highest turnover rates, and pay minimum wage to a higher proportion of its employees than any other American industry.

The second section of the text begins with a discussion of the chemical components that make the food taste so good. Schlosser follows this with a discussion of the life of a typical rancher, considering the difficulties presented to the agriculture world in a new economy. Schlosser is perhaps most provocative when he critiques the meatpacking industry, which he tags as the most dangerous job in America. Moreover, the meat produced by slaughterhouses has become exponentially more hazardous since the centralization of the industry: the way cattle are raised, slaughtered, and processed provides an ideal setting for E coli to spread. Additionally, working conditions continue to grow worse. In the final chapter, Schlosser considers how fast food has matured as an American cultural export following the Cold War: the collapse of Soviet Communism has allowed the mass spread of American goods and services, especially fast food. As a result, the rest of the world is catching up with America's rising obesity rates.

The book continues with an account of the evolution of fast food and how it has coincided with the advent of the automobile. Schlosser explains the transformation from countless independent restaurants to a few uniform franchises. "The extraordinary growth of the fast food industry has been driven by fundamental changes in American society... During that period, women entered the workforce in record numbers, often motivated less by a feminist perspective than by a need to pay the bills. In 1975, about one-third of American mothers with young children worked outside the home; today almost two-thirds of such mothers are employed. As the sociologists Cameron Lynne Macdonald and Carmen Sirianni have noted, the entry of so many women into the workforce has greatly increased demand for the types of services that housewives traditionally perform: cooking, cleaning, and child care. A generation ago, three-quarters of the money used to buy food in the United States was spent to prepare meals at home. Today about half of the money used to buy food is spent at restaurants - mainly at fast food restaurants."

Regarding the topic of child-targeted marketing, Schlosser explains how the McDonald's Corporation modeled its marketing tactics on The Walt Disney Company, which inspired the creation of advertising icons such as Ronald McDonald and his sidekicks. Marketing executives intended that this marketing shift would result not only in attracting children, but their parents and grandparents as well. More importantly, the tactic would instill brand loyalty that would persist through adulthood through nostalgic associations to McDonald's. Schlosser also discusses the tactic's ills: the exploitation of children's naïveté and trusting nature.

In marketing to children, Schlosser suggests, corporations have infiltrated schools through sponsorship and quid pro quo. He sees that reductions in corporate taxation have come at the expense of school funding, thereby presenting many corporations with the opportunity for sponsorship with those same schools. According to his sources, 80% of sponsored textbooks contain material that is biased in favor of the sponsors, and 30% of high schools offer fast foods in their cafeterias.
