Fast Food Ban Gains Support Among City Lawmakers

It's the parents fault these kids are fat and soft. I am 40 and we had dinner on the table everyday at 5:00. Today both parents have to work and the kids raise themselves. We had salad everyday with our dinner. After dinner we were made to go outside and be active, not sit in the house playing playstation and playing on myspace. Parents need to supervise what there kids eat not the fat police. I would never live in a city and pay their taxes that support punishing fast food. If politicians want to correct the problem they should stop spending all our money so we can go back to the days of where families could survive comfortable on a single income so that at least one parent can raise the kids.
