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.

Yeah, if only you would feed your child 2 big macs per month.
3/4 people who go to Mickey D's are heavy users....meaning they eat there more than 5-6 times per week.
The chances of your kid dying from second hand smoke are VERY low compared to having them die from unhealthy eating habits. 1/3 kids in the United States is going to have Type 2 Diabetes by 2010. Also from a direct result of eating too much fast food.
