3. This question was too black and white for me

No, it shouldn't regulate things like potato chips or soda but I DO believe it should regulate the marketing of junk food to our children. I also think labeling is very important. I want to know what's in my food or what isn't.

On edit: I wasn't really sure what sort of regulating they were talking about. How would you regulate unhealthy food?
