Via Digg, a Slate article titled: “The Chocolate War” but should really be called: “The War on Chocolate”.

The article details attempts by schools around the world to ban unhealthy candy, which brought about a new type of dealer — the candy man: William Guntrip is a junk food dealer, and is making almost $100 daily selling junkfood on the playground.

The economic angle in the article is “some markets are irrepressible” and I agree completely.

Educate and regulate, do not ban.
