Kids are getting too fat! We need a law. Parents can't be expected to guide their children's behaviour, isn't that what the government's for??
I propose banning unhealthy food from being sold or consumed in any public place. Oh, and a "sin tax" too, yeah

Better yet, put up scales and weight charts at all fast food places and grocery stores. At check out the cashier can weigh the customer and if the BMI is too high, refuse to sell the outlawed food to them. I can hear it now..."lane 6 needs 1 pound of celery and 1 pound soy bean meal"...then the cashier merely snatches the brownie mix or french fries away and replaces them with the healthy item. Wonder how long it would take for the lawsuits to start based on "they said I was too fat and embarrassed me!"

Fast food joints can have a nice sign outside reading, "You must weigh less than XXX to buy a Whopper." The skinnies could stand outside and offer to make the illicit purchases for a small tip.
