Okay, yes, there are parents who are unfit to teach their children
about simple nutritional basics, but that is why we need to focus on
teaching children these things in schools... Why the hell should we
make laws to ban Junk food. I exercise, I like some types of junk
food, I am fit. So are many kids that enjoy a burger here and there.
Who decides what is bad? Are you going to ban orange juice b/c of
it's high sugar/calorie content? Are you going to shut down all steak
houses b/c they serve extremely high fat foods. Get with the program,
we need to TEACH these things to people, because individuals need to
be prepared to make their own decisions. I do not want the government
deciding what I am having for dinner... Want that? Move to France...
