If it affects health it should - The only reason it isn't is because it's a religious practise. If it was a political measure it would be illegal and prohibited right away. I think parents control what children eat to some degree - After all, you have a duty to try to provide healthy food and avoid buying lots of junk food (I'm thinking childhood obesity), but there are limits to everything.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
