I want to make my own decisions, not let reeruned politicians make them for me. Politicians are at the same intellectual level as actors. One of the best feelings you have is when you can resist the temptation of a food you know is bad for you because YOU decided it was healthier not to eat/drink it. I want to have the freedom to make that choice and feel good about myself, not live in some Gulag/1984 society where some asshat limits my choices. How can you be happy when choices are made for you? Do you sheep love being controlled so much? People used to abhor "the man" interfering in their lives. Now they welcome it.

You do realize that diabetes is quickly becoming an epidemic, right? And that obesity now costs America about 190 billion in health care costs. And that healthy people are picking up the tab for unhealthy people in the form of higher premiums and reduced access to quick medical care?
