The next generation of consumers are groomed quite efficiently by the ad-man and his master.
Soon the ads will cry out personally to them via their smart-phones !! Imagine that ...the bastids!
Another excellent piece KL.

Thank you. We will soon have tongues a wagging in this place -- mutual banter and all ...:)
You make some interesting points in this insightful poem... and to each his own, I mean our generation lived through it. None the less a greatly worded poem.

I love quinoa and porn, but you're right. One of the two I will not feed my children. It's such a pain in the but to get them out sometimes. I get that it's snowy and cold but tobogganing is fun! Thank god they like skiing at least. Summer is easier obviously.

Smiling here.....you have this so in focus! Today's children are more out of shape and too overweight than we ever were even eating our Sugar Pops, Lucky Charms, and Frosted Flakes! Getting outside and playing in the street might help them...a lot more than that dish of quinoa! Kale eaten while watching an iPad is not healthy for anyone. Loved it! Lydi**
Oh a deeply cynical take on the modern generation and their breakfast habits. Took me back though and you hit the nail on the head, highlighting our naivety back then as we trusted the corporations and governments to feed us well. Not so now in this greed filled, intolerant, self obsessed, world of instant gratification. Well captured.

Yet I listen to this hollow gobbelygook spilling from YouTube and I fear for my kids ... Thank you for reading and reviewing, as always.
