  1. On one hand, I think that government telling us what to eat is an intrusion to our personal liberties, but on the other, they already do govern what we put in our bodies by legislating ingestion of drugs and chemicals. The government’s rationale is that certain drugs or chemicals are bad for us and generate costs to society. Very few people take issue with that logic so what is the problem with regulation of foods which are harmful? An obese diabetic or a strung-out junkie both pose costs to society so why should government treat the causes differently?
