Hello.

Howdy, Matt?

We're going to talk about the war on children's consumption choices here in a moment.

But first, a word from our sponsor.

Hey, Reason Roundtable listeners, Peter Sutterman here.

Do you know a student looking for a transformative opportunity that supports the foundations of a free society?

Reliance College invites students age 16 to 24 to the 2025

Great Connection Seminar in Chicago from July 26th to August 2nd. This year's theme,

Reason and Free Will dives into timeless ideas from writers such as Thomas Jefferson,

Ein Rand, and Aristotle. Students can sharpen critical thinking skills in small dynamic groups,

developing the intellectual tools needed to thrive in a free society. Outside the classroom,

they will explore Chicago's vibrant culture touring museums, trying improv comedy, and building

lifelong personal connections. Parents, this program equips students to think, reason, and act independently.
