If they cause obesity or/and health problems. Simply tax them to cover the extra costs. Then when you're 300 pound, your health care costs are covered. And the rest of us don't have to pay for your indulgences.

Also bad adverts and promotions aimed at children.
They were on about stopping ads for toys over here in the UK at certian times

But I think its true to say that if you put a huge tax hike on junk food it would cut peoples consumptions down. Dought it would ever happen though because of the revenues which would be lost
