If we're talking about setting safety standards for car seats, fine. I also wouldn't really care if the mandated use of car seats was just a recommendation. My kids would still go in a car seat until they're big enough, and I don't particularly care if other people are too careless with their kids to use car seats.

Falls under crime, and could also be perpetrated by the parents themselves. Of course some impartial entity should be doing the investigation.
> regulate school lunches
I would say the government shouldn't be regulating school lunches beyond the normal health standards applied to all food service places.

Many foods which were completely fine were not allowed anymore, yet pizza could be considered a vegetable because it had tomato sauce on it. Maybe this improved the food in some areas, but it definitely made it worse in my area.
