What part of Art 1, Sec 8 of the Constitution of the United States gives Congress the authority to do that?

I never said the government had the right to control us. I said the government will control us if we don’t control ourselves.
If we Americans would control our eating habits and not burden the the healthcare system with self-induced illness and diseases, the government do-gooders would have no or at least less reason to get in our lives about it.
We gripe about Americans, who lacking self disipline, don’t work and become a burden on the system. But its somewhat of the same thing when we as Americans are making ourselves fatter and fatter and sicker and sicker, due lack of self discipline in our eating patterns, put burdens on each other in terms of the high cost of health care and health insurance.
I paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emmerson who said, Every man talks about improving society, but no MAN improves. Meaning to me
that society is made up of individuals. The more self discipline each individal has, the better the society we will have. I hate government control, but there are things we do or don’t do to bring some of this government control upon ourselves. Just sayin.
