Those people need to have their children removed from them they obviously have no clue how to raise a child
If children are never exposed to "good" diets when they are younger, then the chances are they are going to find it difficult to change their diets if they are unfortunate enough to develop specific health problems.

Yes it is child abuse but it really isn't a do or don't factor, it is a matter of education. People aren't educated about the reality of food and health. No it doesn't mean parents should buy anything with a fat free label, diet coke or organic t.v. dinners. People really need to be educated about whole foods, fats, nutrient density, nutritional value, and especially bring home economics back. Food needs to be a natural part of life, not a fear or goal.

So you want to legislate "good diet"? Again, how would you legislate it? Would it be based on caloric intake? Or would cookies and cakes be outlawed? Would you also outlaw such processed foods say in the frozen section which may have some sugar? You know like prepared dinners and such? Would everyone have to eat only lean meat and vegetables? How about bleached flour? Will that be outlawed too?
Peoople honestly need to ask themselves how far they are willing to go to make their ideas work.
