Pretty big leap you make. The amount of regulation is subject to what most people find reasonable. There are trade-offs. With every increase in regulation something is lost, usually some freedom. Individual tolerances differ in general and differ based on the subject in question. If I got into things you value and started "regulating" reducing freedoms you hold near and dear to your heart, you can bet your tone on regulation would be completely opposit of what you project here.

there's a deep problem with the american industrial food system as a whole and its subordination of human nutritional needs to profit imperatives,

The "profit" motives...do you give away your services in the market place for free or are you motivated by "profit" for your services?

because they're marketed at kids.

You are wrong. They don't market to kids they market to decision makers, the parents. Marketing 101. The basic strategy is to sell the image of "this place is gonna be fun for your kids, save you some time and effort." It is scary when public policy gets formed based on misinformation like what you present above.

i have no problem with regulating them out of existence.

I assume you like this forum, would you find it acceptable if people used faulty reasoning and made up crap to regulate TFP out of existence? Feel free not to respond, because there is no reasoned response to the corner you have painted yourself into, continuation of this would only prove to be further embarrassing.

there's more a problem with the lack of regulation, really. it's the lack of regulation that enables your circular non-argument to function. what's bizarre is that you seem to imagine it an argument against regulation.

So is your logical argument that more and more regulation will solve all problems? Sorry, don't respond to that either. I just can't help it with these silly questions, suggesting that you don't think things through thoroughly given your chronically condescending tone.
