    Actually I believe that the solution to the problem lies in proper upbringing...
    1) The only thing that vending machines in schools should be selling are 100% fruit juices and water.
    2) Parents have to stop serving their kids with junk food at homes
    3) Our governments should invest more into athletic programs for kids instead of cancelling gym class
    4) At least 25% of a mandatory course for every year of schooling from grades 1 to 10 should involve proper nutrition
    5) Don't take kids to junk food restaurants or if you do, not more often than 4 times a year
    If we kill the demand for junk, the corporate world will have to re-consider the offerings.
    Wow tells us how you really feel

    I gave good working solutions. However all parties will come up with excuses..
    Parents: I can't control what my kids are eating or police them all the time
    Governments: We have to invest in boosting our economy and fighting terrorism
    Schools: Gym classes are expensive and synthetic junk is cheaper than real food
    Guess what's going to happen to our population in a decade or two.
