Kids are obese because parents feed them crap and the kids live very sedentary lives. The government shouldn't ban any food for any reason (unless it's poisoned or something, that's where the FDA can step in and ban it). Really the only thing the government should be allowed to do is have intense PE exercises in public schools and encourage kids to stop sitting in front of a TV and computer and go out and do something.
Nobody is saying that the Government is banning food.
The issue is about banning toys, which is seen as a rewards system for children. A HappyMeal means a toy and to a kid this lives with them more than the taste or the nutritional makeup of the McHappyMeal
