What are we eating? What do our kids eat? California is asking this question via Prop 37 which is simply asking food manufacturers to include when GMOs are in our food. GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. This was a passionate #DadChat on Thursday, November 1 with respectful dialogue on both sides of the issue. Sadly, the official transcript is incomplete due to server issues, but below are the rough stats and I know we had over 200 people, participating!
I often say that “I don’t do politics,” though I’ve occasionally violated that assertion. I figure by touching politics I risk “losing” half my audience. I’d rather be myself and risk losing all my audience. But sometimes, it’s hard to avoid these taboo topics. We actually had a VERY civil discussion on politics at #DadChat recently.

Duh, it’s political season and this time there’s a sort of important election going on. How do we talk to our kids about politics was our topic at #DadChat Thursday, October 18 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. To many, politics is almost a religion. Do we proselytize about it to our family? Should we? Should we give a fair and balanced point of view on the issues and candidates? What impact do you believe this election will have on OUR KIDS? We talked #politics – Read the transcript.

This show is loosely based on this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, “Generations.” We discuss generations, Ricki Lake, and of course politics.
In this election year, it seems that the discourse is more raw, rough, and angry than ever before. It seems that posturing is taking place among the candidates, of course, but also mainstream media is clearly favoring one candidate/party over another. How does this impact our relationships? Does it impact them?
