“This sounds a great deal like indoctrinating kids early in subtle methods of behavior control. Make them good little robots of consumtpotion early on. The article doesn’t suggest anything was being over aside from the position next to the checkout. It sounds like the kids are being exposed to the concept of “point of purchase” displays using fruit. They are being taught to impulse buy under the guise of “keeping them healthy”. But, then, they stipulated things like mandatory bike and roller skating helmets that deform their developing brains, and cost significant amounts spread over a nation of bike riders and roller skaters, to protect kids from injuries that might occur but didn’t really! The New World Order uses that pretense regularly. Some may argue that the instinct to ignore something like ice cream if the lid is closed is already there, but it can be suggested that this only reinforces it, maybe even awakens it, that someone not manipulated that way won’t develop a tendency to be dissuaded by simple inconvenience.”
