How about instead of this, we just show the kids a video of what happens with the cow before they turn into that little slab of processed beefy goodness. That should shock a majority of them so much that they won't ever eat those kinds of processed meats for a long while.
Goodbye, Vegan.
My point of view is that this law actually has some reason to it. Kids like toys. To get toys, you have to get food. Kids feel hungry when they see the food, you know how bratty they get, so they munch it down while they play with their new toy.
That's gonna happen inevitably, one way or another in a lot of times in a kid's life. So by restricting these health requirements, they don't have to exchange much health just of a toy. Let kids be kids, seriously. They're gonna grow up someday and you're never gonna see them play on the slides again
(and give you an excuse to go near games).
Of course, parental responsibility also plays a major role in the development of a child, so just this law, even though I agree with it, probably won't be enough. Parents also have to get a wake up slap and watch their children from the beginning. Getting them used to balanced diets and getting them away from popular culture from the time they are infants will help a lot.
Children are not born with common sense, they are born with a sponge that's gonna suck up whatever comes its way first. Most of the children that dislike vegetables get that idea from the stupid cartoons that idealize it, only a few actually hate it from the flavor. I'm proud of the way my parents raised me in my early childhood. Because of that, I had no problem consuming vegetables. Unfortunately, I was flawed in the sense of physical activity, and that cost me a lot of appeal later in elementary school. I try my best nowadays, and I am glad of my results.
So yeah, it's not only what the food companies have to do, but also what parents have to do. Let's face it, Fast Food has become a permanent part of diets. Getting rid of them now would be unfair and chaotic in many ways. But restrictions like these is what helps prevent, but not directly prevent, bad health habits in children.
