Fatty food is also on the list of targets to attack for big money to help "the children." People laughed 10+ years ago when Rush Limbaugh and others said that the Nioctine Nazis and their partners would next go after food. As usual, he was right.

Look for a "Twinkie Tax" to be proposed with the funds to be used for "Childhood obesity programs". And as with the tobacco settlement money, less than 5% will actually go for its stated purpose.

I think as that if all we have to worry about is our kids drinking pop its a good thing. I think the real problem is parents letting their kids sit and play video games all day whilst drinking copious amounts of their desired soft drinks thats the real problem is parents being lax and not caring about their kids health
