Great post.

Thanks. It's part of a longer piece I wrote while in a class in graduate school that discussed topics in nutrition. I was disturbed by the attitude of the professors that something needed to be done and it needed to be accomplished by a federal program. So I wrote that as a distillation of everything conservative I'd read over the previous fifteen years or so, including The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis and The Law by Frederic Bastiat. About the only comment from the one who led the class was that the piece was "somewhat cynical."
