Now, you good people KNOW that it is the government’s job to protect us from ourselves, right?

No marijuana, no steroids, no HGH, no ephedrine . . .
The list is long and tedious.

Well, in the interest of further protecting us from ourselves, don’t you think the government should step in and control our caloric intake?

It’s for our own good, isn’t it?

Obesity, and its related illnesses, has reached an epidemic scale.

If you defend drug laws, then you MUST defend food laws.

More people are sickened/killed by obesity than by steroids, ephedrine, underage drinking, and marijuana COMBINED.
