To compare food to tobacco is unfair. Tobacco, even used in small amounts (moderation) can still result in health problems down the road. (After all, you ARE ingesting the byproduct of burning embers). Food, used in moderation, will not.
Anything that is mis-used (or abused) will cause problems.

The problem here is people who cannot control themselves or their kids. Deal with that first.

Tobacco, in moderation, has been reported to reduce health problems too.

The comparison being made is not in the dangers, or lack thereof of particular products. The comparison is to the tactics being used by these self proclaimed guardians of our health. Cigarettes are indeed dangerous as the anti-smoking Nazis contend they are. But rather than ban them the greedy Federals and their state lackeys tax them endlessly to fill their coffers. Fast food will go the same way. Say goodbye to cheap Big Macs Sheople.
