It's a valid point, BUT what if other types of foods were deemed not appropriate?
Someone is telling me what I can or cannot eat? I think not! Imagine if you were told that a particular food you enjoy is now "off limits?"
You eat a diet that keeps you fit and healthy. Others have different diets that also keep them fit and healthy and contrary to what some might think, a treat every once in a while is not the problem. Telling anyone that legislation will be passed because, seems very wrong. Other approaches might be better.....education for one.
