As of January 1st, 2014, these are the new rules.
All sugar-laden breakfast cereals with cute child-friendly
cartoons on the box shall be banned. The
manufacturers of the three worst, Golden Crisp, Fruit Loops, and Honey Smacks,
each of which contains more sugar than a Twinkie in every bowl, shall pay the
equivalent of three new diabetes wards in fines.
Anyone who regularly crosses the border to shop for food at
American super markets shall have all OHIP privileges revoked. Since they prefer to pay their taxes to
America and prefer to support American farmers and grocers, they can get their
health insurance over the border, too.
Good luck.
Cooking classes shall be mandatory in all high schools. The curriculum shall include nutritional
information, meal preparation, shopping procedures, and include field trips to
farms and local markets. Exemptions will
be granted to any student who can prepare and present a reasonably nutritious
meal from scratch and who demonstrates rudimentary knowledge of healthy eating
practices.
Anyone using a hand-held electronic device during meal times
shall forfeit the device permanently.
This includes texting, video gaming, phoning, tweeting, and wearing ear
buds or headphones. In addition, all
televisions will be turned off during meals.
To assist with compliance, television networks will be required to
program only infomercials for hair removal products between the hours of 5:30
and 9:00 pm.
Sweet soft drinks such as Coke, Pepsi, and their many
cousins which contain more than ten teaspoons of sugar in each can, will be
more heavily regulated than alcohol. Sale
will be strictly limited to a six-pack per week and anyone caught supplying
minors with this poison will be put on a restricted diet consisting of kale,
spinach, sunchokes, and arugula (blended for breakfast, salad for lunch,
stir-fry for dinner) for a period of not less than one week.
It shall be required that parents sit down for a minimum of
one hour with all children living at home to consume a meal at least twice per
week. Said meal must be prepared from
scratch with the assistance of said children and may count as homework for the
afore-mentioned mandatory cooking classes.
Conversation is optional, but encouraged.
Supermarkets shall be required to carry local produce when
it is available. Any store selling
strawberries from California, or asparagus from Chile, or tomatoes from Mexico,
or garlic from China when such produce is being grown at Ontario farms shall
have its entire parking lot turned over to a farmers’ market every weekend for
one year.
Advertisements for fast food restaurants shall be required
to include warnings about health risks and feature really, really gross
pictures of people suffering from the results of a steady diet of their
products. Such advertisements shall also
be strictly regulated to have no child appeal.
If parents want to take their kids to such unhealthy environments, they
will do so without the encouragement of brainwashed children.
There. I got that off
my chest. Amazing how a little venting
makes you feel better.
