The Politics of Food Production

Companies that create junk food insist that they have a right to sell products, including products marketed to children. Communities insist that they have a right to protect themselves from harm, including the harm posed by skyrocketing ill-health caused by poor nutrition and the societal costs associated with that. Consider these arguments and present pros and cons of each side on the subject of banning the sale or advertising of such foods specifically to children. Which is more compelling to you?
