It is an addiction. The worst food for you is generally the cheapest and also packed with sugar and salt. Sugar is probably the most addictive substance on the planet and it's a slow killer.

And these idiots are putting healthy children in masks.

I’m not entirely sure the Right wants the solution, either. Fighting obesity would include public programs to increase access to healthy food and resources for schools to teach exercise and nutrition properly. Tighter regulation on the food and soft drink industries would also help.
This is a generational problem in that it's not something a few clever laws will fix. It will require a long term commitment to change behaviors. I have no problem with helping to provide increased access to healthy food. That actually will likely result in long term savings in the form of lower medical expenses and less lost productivity due to a healthier populace.
I do disagree with regulating food and soft drink. That's your individual choice. If you want to choose to drink that large coke, that's your choice.

Would hate to have argued against this point just a few short days ago....

Could have just quarantined the whole obese without wearing one mask and we would have had a significantly better outcome.
As a society we chose fat adults over children. What a shame.

I hate BMI as a measure. But they gotta use something I guess
