It is healthier if you don't eat so much junk food. There are more obese children and young adults now than there ever were. Cutting down on junk food which is high in calories and low in nutritional content makes absolute sense.
You may think it's stupid, but later on you will appreciate that they were looking out for you.

Unfortunately, the goverment doesn't care what we think, they care for our lives. They said anybody born in 1995 or over, 1 in 3 kids will be obese. If you don't know what's obese, then look it up.
Have you ever watched this movie? It's called Super Size Me. It answers your question really well. And it gives me another reason to watch my lunches and snacks in school.

While I believe everyone has the right to decide what they want to do with their own bodies, I think companies have used psychology to a vast and great extent in pushing kids to brand identify as soon as possible to have a life-long consumer of their product.
It doesn't matter to them that by training a kid's palette for high fats, excessive salts and high fructose sugars they are making tomorrows obese adults who will die early of diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Now if we could get the largest purchaser of beef in the world, McDonald's, to stop using steroids...

Hon, you probably aren't old enough to be on here even. But nope, it's about time they took the junk out. Kids can't learn if they are full of sugar and chemicals.

I think it is stupid also. It is like they are telling you what you can and cannot eat. I think it should be a choice.
