Not really. It's scientific certainty that if you kill someone they are dead, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with liberty or central control. It's the same with children's diets.

Children's diets are not the purview of the state, federal or state level. It is really strange that the life expectancy of men is now 75, and women's life expectancy is 79 because the people who are living that long ate pretty much what they wanted and the schools fed them what they wanted at lunch time. We all lived through eating however we pleased and feeding our children how we wished and they are still living and doing fine.

If you wish to feed your children a certain way that is fine, leave other people alone and that includes schools as well. Control is what it is about and it is easy to tell you are a control freak, you want to force your opinions and life style on everyone hence you see nothing wrong with the government having food police. I feel sorry for you because I suspect underneath your conservative outer layer you are really a closet liberal.

What you said, Calex (not that I think he'll listen). He keeps trying to debate the scientific merits of the actual policies, choosing to ignore that they are completely beside the point.

Now, a separate message for you ~ it's pretty obvious you haven't read the whole thread and all the comments.

There's a body of existing law. Rather than complain about my recognition that we have to work with in it, why don't you get busy and get that law changed.

I know it's harder than sitting around BSng on FR, but people have gotten laws changed in the past.
