Exactly! They lose all their credibility by talking about their kids throwing temper tantrums.
I mean, kids grew up watching Yogi Bear, Bugs Bunny, and the entire Jay Ward Canon at the time bilk various sugary cereals (though, to be fair, a lot of Bullwinkle ads were for Cheerio's, the healthiest cereal kids love). ANd this has only been a problem now.
What it all boils down to is choice. If someone doesn't care, and is happy with themselves and they are fat, let them be. I mean, if someone has psycholgical problems and uses junk food as a crutch, then they need emotional help.
PArents have the right to say "NO." Hell, my mom and dad sure said no alot. Of course, we were pretty poor, but that's besides the point.
