Obviously McDonald's isn't the problem, it's what they are eating at home. It's the parents who are responsible, and should be accountable. Are you suggesting the government should make supermarkets remove all cookies, ice cream, prepared foods, candy, etc? Hell, why not outlaw home kitchens, set up chow halls, and make everyone eat there.

I didn't say that I agreed with regulating fast food, I merely pointed out that the government (taxpayers) does have a vested, financial interest in the issue.
The left wing socialist liberal way of dealing with the issue would be for taxpayers to pay for people's fast food, pay for their healthcare when it makes them ill, and pay for their funerals when they kick. The right wing fascist conservative way of dealing with it would be to let the people eat their fast food, psychopathically ignore them when it makes them ill, and let them rot where they are when they kick. The proposal is between those two extremes, and so is moderate.
