:26:00
"Don't you know how dangerous
it is to be so overweight?
:26:03
"Stop eating, for god's sake.
And don't you dare get dessert,
:26:05
and what's the matter with you?"
:26:07
Same logic.
:26:08
Id be hard-pressed
to find a distinction
:26:11
between those two examples.
:26:13
So, one is now
socially acceptable --
:26:15
to hector smokers --
:26:17
but the other one
isn't quite yet.
:26:20
So the question is,
:26:21
at what point
will it become acceptable
:26:23
to publicly hector fat people
:26:26
in the way that smokers
are publicly hectored?
:26:30
A secret study
by one of the tobacco companies
:26:34
had the ominous title --
something like,
:26:37
"brand imprinting
for later actuation in life."
:26:41
They would buy
the little toy cigarettes,
:26:45
and they'd start
play-smoking them
:26:48
at 4 or 5 or 6.
:26:49
Wouldn't even
notice the pack.
:26:51
If you asked them
what pack it was,
:26:53
they wouldn't notice it,
:26:54
but the theory was that
somewhere, it's buried in here,
:26:57
and then when they get to
the age where they're smoking,
:27:00
without even realizing it,
:27:01
they're going for that pack
that they recognize
:27:04
because it had
those nice feelings for them
:27:06
when they were
little kids.
:27:07
The same way here --
:27:08
they're satisfied,
it's nice,
:27:10
they remember
the warm feelings
:27:12
of playing
and getting the toy,
:27:14
being with mom and dad.
:27:16
It's gonna carry through.
:27:19
That's why
when I have kids,
:27:21
every time I drive
by a fast-food restaurant,
:27:23
Im gonna
punch my kid in the face
:27:27
Then we'll never
want to come.
