Good point.
However, there are amounts of fried food that are acceptable so it would be hard for a 3rd party to make assumptions just by visually looking at what a child eats. It would take putting the child through a physical, which crosses the privacy line imo.
With smoking, there is no acceptable limit for what is beneficial or safe (unlike fried foods) so the law wouldn't be based on assumptions.
