[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1536141, member: 11028"] Cutting down on the portions size is fine, they've done this with chocolate bars but there's nothing stopping someone from buying two of them. As ever education is the key, if children learnt to cook from scratch they'd be less reliant on fast/processed food when they were older (and would hopefully pass on these skills to their own children). How the government would police this (article says they'll legislate if the industry doesn't respond) I've no idea, you only have to look at the average high-street to see how many fast-food takeaways there is, it would be an impossible task and where would the money come.
