Do you not want kids to eat food that actually has some sort of nutritional value? Are you IN FAVOR OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY? Massive Dynamic 14:38, 16 January 2011 (PST)

Absolutely not. I simply don't believe the government should tell us what to put in our mouths. (That is not a sexual joke.) It's the same reason I am against the E/I legislation spearheaded by Peggy Charren, which has been perverted by unscrupulous programmers and reduced children's TV to bland mushy mind-pap. I don't want Michelle Obama telling me what snacks I may consume while watching the few shows I am still allowed to enjoy on her husband's little two-horse cable empire. Don't get me wrong--I am a great believer in good eating. My mother is a recovering heart-patient, and I have placed us on a sensible, healthy meal plan--low sodium, fresh vegetables, lean meat. You will find that lower-income homes tend to consume the poorest diets, owing to the cheapness and ready availability of junk. These laws, while well-meaning, may also break already overtaxed school budgets and lead to higher tuition or cutting of underfunded academic programs (though, oddly, not the money wasted on sumptuous perks packages or earmarks for legal fees stemming from University men's indiscretions with local boyfriend-free girls).
