Alcohol is pretty heavily regulated. Sugary foods are not, which does suck—they should be.

Sugary soft drinks (Coke, Pepsi, etc) are higher on my list than cookies or cheesecake. Schools are startking to ban soda from being sold

I agree—I don't think overall cookies or cheesecake are a major source of obesity, since they're really not eaten that often. You're right about soda, but in general the large amount of sugar (in whatever form) in so many foods is a problem.

There have been attempts to regulate them, e.g. in NYC.

Definitely a step in the right direction.
