OBESITY EPIDEMIC DIAGNOSED

The Australian Consumers' Association's publication Choice, deeply concerned that Australian children are rapidly turning into little (or is that big?) tubs of lard and aware that parents are no longer willing to control their offspring, offers a solution to the obesity epidemic:
Given the grave nature of childhood obesity, CHOICE thinks immediate and urgent precautionary measures are warranted, in the form of government regulation of food marketing to children across all media. [Bold in original.]
Too much government is never enough.

You'd think the preferred solution of a magazine called "Choice", would be for people to CHOOSE not to fatten their kids.

Yes, Freedom From Choice would seem a more appropriate name.
