If you read my other post, I said that if not feeding a kid is child abuse, then way over-feeding (yeah, not a word) should be as well. But honestly, we are talking about a tiny number of people in Canada.
I am all for improving the health of our society. I just think the chances of my kid dying from second hand smoke is a lot higher than the chances of him dying from having 2 big macs a month.

Eating crap for 50 years or even much less would make you that person.
Yes, second hand smoke is more dangerous for the kid than 2 big macs. But if its planted in his psyche that its acceptable to be morbidly obese, then chances are he won't care if he himself becomes that way, because daddy is like that so its okay.
