no the government cant just ban unhealthy foods. we have the right to eat whatever we want to eat and we have to decide whether we will eat healthy foods or not. this thread is ridiculos and is not needed on a sales site.

No, it's the parent's job to keep their kids healthy, not Uncle Sam's. 

This is just another stupid tax/regulation that takes away freedom.

I have to say, Americans sure think.....differently.

Yes individuals have the right to decide what they eat, but they should also have laws regulating fat/salt/sugar quantities in food so that people know it's safe.

In the case of pop, there shouldn't be salt in pop.... I'm not saying you should drink pop, I'm just saying pop should be better for you, we don't need corporations making us thirstier with pop.

I mean how is this any different then cigarettes? We heavily tax cigarettes because they are bad for you. So is junk food.
