Libertarian arguments about food and exercise may be ok for adults (assuming they never ask for healthcare other than what comes out of their own pockets rather than insurance), but it seems a bit shrill for children given the obesity epidemic.
You can't have much of an impact behavior at home, but making sure food in school is good and having a good exercise program may be one of the most cost effective long term investments we can make in healthcare. Prevention is much less expensive than fixing something that is broken.
