The phenomenon is known as “killing with kindness” because the child craves the unhealthy food and a loving parent feels unable to say no.

That is a fallacy. A loving parent is not necessarily the one to say 'no'. It takes a lot of love to say 'no'.

So the argument begins with a false premise. Therefore it is faulty.

You and I aren't actually the intended readers. Many of these questions posed start with a false premise and that is the whole point.

...Self destructive behavior in government run health care? Dismantle government run health care.

Much like a few others many waste a great deal of time and effort debating...

Should children be allowed to pray in government run indoctrination camps public schools? Dismantle government run schools.

In the face of extreme fiscal crisis should government be allowed to pay out $.70 or less on the dollar to each retiree that put into a government run retirement plan? Dismantle government administered Ponzi...er, retirement plans.

Insisting on injecting the rules of logic worked out by the ancient Greeks into a discussion in a post-modern, post-structuralist world could be construed as cruelty to dumb Libtards.
