re giving coca cola to kids – someone just emailed me a bunch of “ads you wouldn’t see today”, and there were a couple of those. One even recommended giving it to babies and infants.

However, I don’t think people running the networks that highlight the worst aspects of rural Southern culture (or Northeastern ethnic minority culture) belong to the left half of the Bell Curve, nor do the advertisers who buy time on these shows. If you want to ladle disgust on someone for dumbing down the culture and rewarding excess and idiocy, don’t spit on the clowns in front of the camera; they’re probably doing the best they can with what they got. Give the real devils their due.

Meat of wild animals uses to be lean, and may be the basis for a proper nutrition if you just can add some other catches to that typical hunter-gatherer diet, like roadkill tomatoes, roadkill potatoes or roadkill cucumbers.

Another cuestion is Go-Go Juice, of course. But, is that mix really more dangerous than usual coke drinks that most childrens have access?

In western countries, just 100 or 200 years ago, children sometimes drank wine, or beer, because parents considered them “invigorating”, but the actual cause was that peasants not always had access to safe and healthy milk, or water. May be potable water into the “roadkill belt” is also an health issue. Really, I don’t know. As I said before, my perceptions may be exaggerated, and stereotypical.
