I don't want the government to tell anybody anything.

I'm just ready for the (insert cause) nazis to get theirs, because obesity cuts across all political, gender and socio-economic lines.

I do, however, want food stamp recipients to stop buying trash food for our nation's kids. This is our people's health we're talking about here.

That's how government gets control of people, give them something and then tie strings to it. It works everytime.

Secondly, who decides what is "trash" food? And thirdly, they aren't "our" children or "our" people. People own themselves, they are not owned by society.

The government has no legitimate business whatsoever in these things.
