    This article is about how grade children are picky eaters and how some will not have a problem with eating different healthy foods. Many children have their certain routine on flavors they like to taste which will be much more difficult for them to change their food habits. It should not make the parent or anyone else believe they will not be able to accomlish healthy habits for the child, the parent or whoever will need to be strict when wanting to change foods to healthier foods.

    The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

    Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences.

    Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.

    New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.

    I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.

    "... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.

    New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.

    taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

    For young adults, the "right" to eat healthy food may be more closely associated with the right to understand how food choices impact their health. Without information and understanding, it can be argued that young people may not be in a position to advocate for themselves or to act in their own best interests. In this article, a secondary issue takes center stage: there are economic implications for the availability and sales of junk food to young adults.

    This articles shows statistics that are supporting the idea that obesity is on the decline in elementary and middle school children. It shows how schools are making a more conscience effort to inform children that eating healthy and exercise are extremely important.

    Unbeknownst to the general public, our diet has been infiltrated with genetically modified (GM) foods and organisms. The majority of food items that we consider mainstream have some component that is either directly or indirectly from a GM food item because of the consolidation of ingredients done by companies in the name of efficiency.

    It is absolutely horrible to hear about the fact that we are dealing with a hunger problem and yet there is tons of food wasted each year.

    I think companies should do a better job of labeling expiration dates. Some products say 'use by...' but instead I think it would be a better idea to label food as do not use past this date. It would help diminish food waste nationally.
