Does anyone else think that the lack of Junk Food in FF is some sort of social commentary on the situation of junk food today?

On the one hand, this could say that with the obvious lack of health food, the people in the future live better lives.

But I feel it could be on the other hand, a referrence to the rediculous newfound health kick that wants to irradicate our favorite once and a while snack treats.

Such as Mikey and Raph's dissappointment of knowledge people haven't even eaten pocorn (which isn't even bad for you, unless you pile on butter and salt) in 100 years, or the lack of sodies and icey creams at the wrestilng match.

Or they could just use those crazy Jetson pills.

Then again, it could of course, also be the importation of Alien style foods.

But then, Futurama still had Beer, Oreos...etc.

I think someone just watched too much "Demolition Man."

No, really, it can serve two devious purposes:
1. Audience (kids) will sympathize with the turtles
2. Parents will like it

And, oh, it's kind of funny too. Kinda. Maybe. *shrug*
