Life is an unalienable right. You need food to live, therefore food, as a general concept, is an unalienable right.
So is liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Prohibition of a certain cut of steak, even though consumption of the steak itself violates no rights is a violation of liberty and pursuit of happiness.
I mean no personal offense, but the idea that others have some power to deprive you of everthing that isn't essential to basic survival is the creed of slaves, and stands in direct opposition to the basic concept of liberty. That the majority decides these things for you makes no difference. In that case, you simply have millions of masters instead of one.
And to think Americans are being asked to give up their lives abroad in defense of liberty, only to return home to have literally every aspect of their existance lorded over, even down to what they eat. Could there be any higher hypocrisy?
A few quotes relevent to liberty vs democracy...
"Absolute and arbitrary power over the lives, liberty and property of freemen exists nowhere in a republic, not even in the largest majority."
- Constitution of the State of Kentucky, Section 2
"Democracy and liberty are often thought to be the same thing, but they are not. Democracy means that people ought to be able to vote for public officials in fair elections, and make most political decisions by majority rule. Liberty, on the other hand, means that even in a democracy, individuals have rights that no majority should be able to take away."
- The Bill of Rights, A Brief History
"The French under the old monarchy held it for a maxim that the king could do no wrong. The Americans entertain the same opinion with respect to the majority... If ever the free institutions of America are destroyed, that event may be attributed to the omnipotence of the majority."
- Alexis DeToqueville
