I'd rather make it illegal for people to be overweight. Food is necessary to sustain life. Tobacco is necessary to...
But that is not the right analogy. Say I wanted to market a certain type of crackers, that included nicotine. They would no doubt be very popular, because people like nicotine, and it is addictive.
But suppose that, for some strange reason, I included ground glass in the crackers, and they killed one in twenty people who ate them for long periods of time. Would I be allowed to sell them?

Food is necessary to sustain life.Being fat is not. And I notice that you avoid answering my question on whether or not you are fat. Are you?
As for your silly ground glass question, if you don't know the answer, try selling such crackers. If you do know the answer, then your question is not really a question, as it seeks no information.

Crackers= flour, salt, baking soda, ground up glass.
Cigarettes= tobacco.
No problem, sell as many as you can.

"Food is necessary to sustain life."
Wrong! Nourishment is necessary to sustain life. You can get nourishment from a slushy substance and drink it through a straw, perferences and taste buds be damned! Oh, and it should be provided by the government feeding houses, that way we can ensure it is acceptable by the majority's health standards!

Food is necessary to sustain life. Tobacco is necessary to..Sure food is a necessity, but obesity is not....... it's from a bad habit of overeating.
