In just the past few weeks, the mayor of Boston has banned sugary sodas from being available at schools, a Chicago school has banned parents from making school lunches for their kids and Washington, DC public schools are planning to ban chocolate milk. Why are we seeing so many edicts telling kids and everyone else what they can and cannot eat? Why is the government even leaving parents out of the equation? Do these tactics really help anyone make better decisions? What is the result of previous efforts to tell us all what to eat? And where does this big government intend to go next? We ask Jeff Stier of the National Center for Public Policy Research.
