Cartoon Set #1: Food Issues

Recently my mom put together a few slide shows on differing topics where "social commentary" or "political" cartoons were to basis for discussion... She teaches sixth grade. They loved it - of course. Is she not already fabulous in your mind? If not, she should be.

Below are some of those cartoons on the topic of food and eating healthy...

I'm not going to write a blog entry about the social commentary in these cartoons and how they depict our generations love/apathy for unhealthy food and failing health.  I'm not going to write a blog entry about how children constantly come to school with sodas, candy bars, hostess snacks, and pringles (all things I too love...) in their Hannah Montana or Superhero lunch-sacks, and the parents are often the ones packing these lunches... Or at least buying these items specifically for quickly-packed lunches.  Nope, I'm not going to write that... Oh wait...

Just enjoy the cartoons for what they are... a little observation on society's current state.  Also, they're dang funny.

*muah*

I know my Savior lives and loves me.  Here is a video called "His Sacred Name."  Amidst all the candy, fluffy rabbits, and dyed-eggs (which I too LOVE), remember the most important part of Easter is the empty tomb...
