There are clearly limits to what parents can decide on behalf of their kids.
A parent is a guardian, not an owner.

I dont know about the US, but in the UK a kid can be taken into care in extreme cases because of the diet they have. I remember a couple of years ago there was a 9 year old kid who was some impossible weight (like 15 stone or something) and he was temporarily taken into care as his mothers inability to stop him eaing junk food was deemed if not an abuse, a proof that she was not a suitable guardian.
