See, it's just that kind of thinking that begs for State Regulation! (and if they get overweight, they will legislate that too)
I mean how can a parent possibly know what's best for their kid? The State has experts.

If your kids are out learning that running, jumping and playing games are fun, just where is Big Brother supposed to fit in?
Jeez what's next? Individual thinking?!?!
