No Duh

"Parents want to feed their kids healthy meals, but America's chain restaurants are setting parents up to fail," Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) nutrition policy director Margo G. Wootan said in a statement about a report released Monday by the nonprofit public health group. She went on to say that the big fast food chains are "conditioning kids to expect burgers, fried chicken, pizza, french fries, macarroni and cheese and soda in various combinations for almost every lunch and dinner."



Really.



The National Restaurant Association, in response, said that it would try to put nutritional values on menus as well as providing more choices for parents but the group stresses that "exercising parental responsibility is key to childhood nutrition."



Um, no duh.



The group went on to counter that the report "fails to acknowledge the essential role of nutritional education, physical activity and parental responsibility in childhood nutrition - good eating habits and healthy living must be established in the home."



Yay for the National Restaurant Association. CSPI, you are rediculous! Between the sex education and religious controversy in public schools and this... parent's don't seem to be held responsible for much of anything anymore. I just can't get over it: "America's chain restaurants are setting parents up to fail." I just can't get over it.
