Sorry, DBP but I think that line of thinking is ridiculous.
I am a gen x’er who hangs around a LOT of people my age who all grew up with a twinkie or a ding dong in their lunches. Very, very few have weight issues. Everything is about moderation, and that is taught at home, not dictated by the feds (see; marijuana, alcohol, etc).
In my experience it is the kids whose parents don’t allow candy in their homes who are the ravenous ones you have to watch a birthday parties!
