    This is just another case of corporations being corporations.

    To the powerful corporation, the law is not something to be followed, merely something to be avoided, circumvented or ignored outright.

    You can be sure that the fines that the stations receive is merely factored in to the cost of the sponsored advertisement.

    The item gives the former Surgeon General undeserved credibility in health matters.

    Does Kessler's interest in healthy food extend to pesticide content, chlorine-bleached packaging (of dairy products, especially), antibiotics in meat from rBGH-treated livestock, unsafe synthetic sweeteners, and/or GE "foods"?
    Does this item lump High Fructose Corn Syrup, Aspartame, Splenda and Sorbitol, etc., in its meaning of "sugars"?
    It's a good bet that none of that is in his book...which seems to be more aimed at individuals' behavior, over-eating, than at corporate behavior---treating the public as Guinea pigs with wallets.

    Kessler does the same thing in his pretend war on Big Tobacco. He prioritizes victims' behavior, "smoking", and ignores the Corporate Behavior of contaminating typical so-called "tobacco products" with more untested and known deadly adulterants than any other imaginable products on the shelves.

    <blockquote>"What really means something is your actions, what you really stand for. Not how you spread the word with Twitter and Facebook."</blockquote> Suppose you just got your butt kicked in an election and the winner attributes his win to spreading the word better than you did. Would you at least take a close look at what happened, or, after having claimed you were running for the right things, just concede that <i>he</i> stood for the right things and you didn't stand for anything, and that's why you lost?

    It is just a hype. Social networking, and "harnessing the Internet" to do things is an easy way to sound like you're "up to date with the latest technology". What really means something is your actions, what you really stand for. Not how you spread the word with Twitter and Facebook. There will ALWAYS be cheesy gadgets to waste time, and yes, every good politician will use them, but there is no need to write an article about this stuff. It's a waste of time to write, and an even greater waste of time to read. I don't think this article should have been posted.
