We've done it with tobacco. We can do it with junk foods and low nutrition foods,"


So then who determines what is non-junk food and food that is high in nutrition? This is government gone insane!

Good point. Last night I drank a container of chocolate milk. Most health food fanatics would consider it "unhealthy" because of its fat content, but for under 400 calories I got 27% of my daily protein needs filled plus a lot of vitamins, AND it tasted delicious.

This is already being mandated through the Model School Nutrition Program in schools. The Healthy People 2010 program intends to mandate this across the board to eliminate health disparities by 2010.
