People keep joking about this kind of thing, but there are people who are trying to put a ban on unhealthy food.

It doesn't suprise me in the slightest, the thing is anything if consumed to excess is unheallthy and can potentialy kill you. Over here the problem is the same as the US, unhealthy processed foods are cheap and effort free. If our governments set in place a few simple measures like no direct advertising of unhealthy food to children and a much higher tax rate on certain foods with high salt and fat content then you take away the main temptations for buying the stuff in the first place.
