See, now THIS I have no problem with. The company itself made the choice to not serve that slop. Good for them. They can lead the way and hopefully more will follow. However, the government has no place to ask a restaurant to stop serving it. It's the restaurants choice to do it or not do it. It's not poison.

Some could argue that by saying it has no good effect on your body when taken in large amounts, but to that I say that neither do Saturated Fats and when taken in large amounts they are almost equally as detrimental to your body. In fact, Vitamin C taken above a certain level will give you kidney stones. Vitamin D, Iron, even FIBER taken in superfluous amounts can harm your body. People just need to become more educated on these things and no legislation will be necessary. Disney made a good choice without government legislation to nanny them. To me that says a lot to people who generally think otherwise.
