Which is a yes. Parents should be the ones to enforce for their child individually, not have the government make huge sweeping restrictions on everyone and everything. That's not their job, their job is to be as unitrusive as possible and not get in our way, essentially, but they've been forgetting that more and more recently. The real solution is for the parents to actually care enough about their kid to pack them a lunch from home, it's not that hard, my parents did and they got up at 4:30AM every morning and work 5:30-6 with 45 minute drives to/from; parents can't complain they don't have the time, they can fucking make the time, it's their child. If they can't, they shouldn't have one to begin with.
But they do have children. And then they have another, and even another. Unfortunately, I'm speaking from my own experience with my brother and his wife, who are still living in the basement of my parents' house. You can assume that if parents care about their children, they will do what's best for them. There is a problem when even the parents don't even know what is fucking best for their children because each new generation is being bombarded with conflicting messages about the correlation between diet and health, and even my parents (who are in their late 40's) don't have a clue about nutrition and diet. People will NOT change. No, they fucking won't. I feel disgusted that our government is forced to step in, and I can only hope that things turn out better than they are now, given our government's track record on "public interest."
A non-intrusive government is the whole reason we have the satirical term "'Murican." It's fucking disgusting.
