Preying on the Young

As if children now days don’t have enough stress and anxieties in their lives, what with the daily grind of school, studying, sports schedules, and avoiding strangers, now they are being bombarded with eco-propaganda. It seems that it’s no longer enough for children to support the planet by recycling and conserving energy, they are now the target of activists groups who are promoting their version of animal rights via school tie ins. Groups such as PETA who are pushing vegetarianism to very vulnerable and susceptible young children by way of “guilt” could very well result in creating yet another generation of teenagers with eating disorders. Children have enough to worry about without adding the fear of eating so called “bad foods” to the list. It is all well and good for an adult who chooses to be a vegetarian, but these so called animal rights activists should not be preying on school children who have enough to worry about without laying the weight of “saving the world” on their shoulders. Our children being informed is one thing, being misinformed is strictly another.
