  Nov 13 2011: I believe that would fall under number 3. An example would be a parent educating why they cooked chicken on a specific evening for their child and that is has essential proteins that help the body gain muscle etc. etc.

  Nov 9 2011: 1: be grateful for what you have and do not waste food if possible
  
  2: why and in what ways it can be a detriment to self to be a glutton
  
  3. give love and time as a parent and listen to what your kids express, project and need.
  
  these messages teach respect, accountability, love for self and others and make it a partnership bwtween parents and their children.
  
  Leading by example is the most important message

  Oct 31 2011: Miss Finnie you are very intuitive but you also like to stir the pot and I like that:) This is my first response on here but it is an important one because I too deal and see this every day and I believe it is one of our greatest dillemas as americans.
  
  The answer to this question is simple and we all know it but like most americans we try to dissect it until its enigmatic.
  
  WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE.
  
  Judgment seems to be selective in the US and its not right. We must first look inward and respect ourselves and than project that outward and assist people in respecting themselves.
  
  Ignorance is no longer an excuse and I believe that is at the heart of this problem. PEOPLE NOT ONLY LIKE TO BE INGNORANT THEY CHOOSE IT and we all allow it... thats the sad part.
  
  thank you.
