No, I am saying the government should regulate the content of foods sold to the public, which is within its power under Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution.

That's regulating commerce amongst the states, what if the food is produced and sold within the state? It doesn't pass state lines so the commerce can't be regulated.

Because I am a conservative. Are you for free will and choice when it comes to prostitution, drugs, and pornography?

Oops, you mean you're a Republican (someone who uses government to enforce a Republican view of social conservatism) when there's no prohibition of prostitution, drugs or pornography in the US Constitution.

As I'm sure you know, intrastate commerce essentially is non-existent.

Actually, I am a Libertarian. I do, however, support government regulation of food products even if the LP does not. This isn't a "socoal issue", it is an issue of public health.
