In reading the transcript, there are many references to the government forcing people to buy broccoli.

Recall President Bush declaring “I am President of the United States and I don’t have to eat my broccoli!” Funny how the Supreme Court is now asking, in earnest, why the government should not be able to force someone to buy, and presumably eat, broccoli.

THIS IS NOT TOO FAR FETCHED. IF THE GOV'T ARGUMENT IS, "We can make young people buy health insurance so that they are not an economic strain when they get older and in poor health", it is not far fetched to imagine the Gov't forcing people to buy broccoli and other "health foods" so that they will not be an economic drain when they are older and in poor health.
