I am no fan of junk food either. I agree with Kyras dad though. Obesity goes deeper than just banning food.

But this also sort of seems off to me. People are allowed to decide what to eat and not eat. Parents should be allowed to feed their children happy meals if thats what they want.

I take big offense to people trying to regulate your food based on whats "healthy" or not. Not defending Mcdonalds, so to say, but we all know everyone has different ideas on what constitutes a healthy diet. I'd be screwed if an Atkins hater had the authority to ban bacon from the local groceries stores, for example, because "bacon is fattening."

I disagree with the above poster that said mcdonalds should be stripped of carbs and forced to close. I dont like the idea of government telling me what I can and cannot eat. Ciggarettes kill, alchohol also comes with it's own set of problems, but they are still allowed to be sold. Regulated, sure, but no one is banning those substances.

Right, they make too much money for government.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but this reeks of fascism to me.
