I think everyone demonstrates a lack of self control on occasion (I know I do), but the point is that if your kids are fat you need to be the one that fixes it--NOT the gov't.

Hell, if a parent is doing their job, the kid never should have become fat in the first place--it's not like a kid would wake up one morning and be 30 lbs. overweight, right?

It's impossible for parents who are also hooked on junk food to correct their fattening kiddies. They would also have trouble jarring the school administrators loose from the soft drink companies' lucrative contracts. It's all about money, lots of it. I would hate the government to step in too, so it's essentially a big fat lost cause for the kids.
