But if you avoid those things and instead give him healthy choices and offer balanced meals, that&#8217;s what he&#8217;ll eat, because he doesn&#8217;t know any better. He won&#8217;t miss what he doesn&#8217;t have and he&#8217;ll be perfectly happy with it. Most importantly, he won&#8217;t be loaded down with all garbage.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so that isn&#8217;t exactly a great analogy, because I wouldn&#8217;t say the crap that the media puts out is in any way like candy, as candy is a delicious and tasty treat that I love very much. But you get my idea.<\/p>\n<p>So media of the world, listen up! Give us a choice. Offer us healthy balanced meals and we&#8217;ll eat it. Every now and then it&#8217;s okay for some fluff, for a bit of pie or maybe some ice cream. As long as we&#8217;re getting the nutrition we need on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Information and knowledge is power. The more they fill up our minds with useless crap, the less room there is for the good stuff we need to be strong, and the weaker we become.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the media is a bunch of soul-sucking demons. one might say they are only talking about what the public wants to hear, but I disagree. it&#8217;s kind of like feeding&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
