The makers of
FLUFF are claiming their sandwich spread does not promote obesity, unhealthy eating habits or tooth decay.
Some supporters are standing by the product maker hoping to elevate this white gooey sandwich spread, usually combined with peanut butter, to supreme status by making it part of their official 'State Sandwich'.
"Why the hell not, it's easy, the kids like it and it's fast," said one supporter whose own body fat was busting at the seams of her clothing. "This is a fast world with fast food and if you think I'm going to stand around and cook 'good-for-you' shit all day...well guess again...I don't have time for that."
While some school officials argue that these sandwiches promote better caloric intake for their students, others argue that students are fat enough and getting less exercise and adding this kind of food product as part of the school lunch program is insane.
One official said it is the wrong choice to offer children because they don't know any better.
"We've got a whole new generation sitting on their fat little asses in front of a television playing video games all day and here we are shoving this high calorie treat down their throat," she said. "If you look at some of these youngsters, the only thing that is toned on their body is their thumbs from using the game controlers and that's just wrong."
In 2005, statistics were released on this ever growing problem. 17.1% of children were determined to be obese and of those 13.9% were between the ages of 2 - 5 years old.
Websites have popped up all over the internet to help promote better eating habits to help offset the alarming statistics of obesity.
One such site claims you can
lose 9 pound every 11 days.
