the cost of eating healthy is more expensive than to eat crap bottom line. 99cent tacos burritos and french fries abound in my hospital cafeteria and out in the real world. go to the fruit bar and and 4 strawberries+2 tablespoons of yogert costs $2.25!! the prep time for healthy food is another problematic area for most working people and parents.  this is not something the gov can fix! period end of story !!its up to the individual and it comes down to the basic question....... How much do you value eating healthy??

I dont think the government should step in and regulate any aspect of our lives, that just opens another door for them to come and control something else in our lives and they already control way to much. It is the parent's and PCP that should be educated  enough, without government help, to help guide the child to the right decision.

this is not the government's job!!!!!!!!  provididng healthy food and healthy choices to the younger set belongs to the parents. I agree that healthy foods are costly and it is difficult to provide healthy choices but as a parent and grandparent i have learned to make healthy substitutes and to do things to make foods that are not as healthy   more healthy.  I think that if the government  is allowed to control whata our kids eat it will open the door to more things they can control like things in our personal lives  ie  how many children can we have  which church can we attend   what occupation can we have   can we choose to be a stay at home parent or must we be mandated to put our children into government run day care programs.  Think about it  are we about to not be  the land of the free and the home of the brave????????
