More Tyranny from the Busy-Bodies and Looking to Get Rich on the Way

Forget parents, it's the job of the busybody to patrol what kids eat--what parents do or don't allow their children to consume is not the problem, it's companies that manufacture & market their wares--evil evil companies:
An advocacy group wants companies to stop marketing junk food to children. They're targeting two titans in a multi-million dollar lawsuit. They're going after the companies behind Tony the Tiger and Spongebob Squarepants: Kellogg foods and Viacom, owner of Nickelodeon TV.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest says junk food is making American kids unhealthy, and is threatening to sue for a billion dollars if they won't tone down ads aimed at kids.
