A bunch of us members of the Older Generation, during a recent dinner party, were discussing how we survived all these years without seat belts, baby car seats and air bags. I saw a Facebook post from Horn News that said members of the Older Generation are tough because we survived spanking, lead paint, wooden playgrounds, second-hand smoke, toy guns, no helmets, playing outside till it was dark without parental supervision and drinking from the garden hose.
Today, we are breaking the law if we do not wear seat belts or have our children in either a car seat or booster seat. Laws were enacted to protect us from ourselves and sometimes just address people who don't have common sense. So, it is interesting to see what will happen in Italy if Parlamentarian Elvira Savino, who is the mother of a 7-year-old son, has her way regarding Italian parents who feed their children a vegan diet.
