isn't it a personal freedom to decide whether you want to be fat or not though?
what should the government have to do with your eating (or smoking) habits apart from simple education?
this kind of government regulation scares the shit outta me. people start thinking that it's the government's role to regulate every fucking little part of their lives. it's so ingrained in them that they get upset as soon as they see an opportunity for meddling...
i want to be able to smoke and eat whatever teh fuck i want, and if i get cancer or fat it'll be my own damn fault, not the government's.
