Parents need to lighten up about this "I'm afraid my kids will become little consumers" because I'm pretty fucking sure the parents saying that aren't living like Thoreau, so come off it.

God, I hate people.
I think the best argument against little plastic trinkets is that they're just more clutter and more shit that gets stuck in the vacuum. One of my mom friends said she'd much rather the kids be given candy that is consumed (often by dad or dad's friends who come over to watch football, like me) than more plastic.
