Creating Fast Food Free Zones for our Kids?

Dr Salber, (who is the new President of the Bay Area American Diabetes Association) writes a new blog entry today on the epidemic of childhood obesity. She argues that policy solutions are needed as a key part of the overall response to this problem. Of course personal responsibility on the part of parents is needed, but she argues that just like smoking 30 years ago, policy responses are needed. Controversial for sure, I think she is right, and I say this as someone with strong free-market and libertarian leanings.

Given that obesity is the #2 killer, second only to smoking, I COMPLETELY agree.
