Of course, there is an easier solution, but that involves just doing away with crappy food and encouraging personal accountability... and we all know how much the average American hates both of those ideas.

How about we do this: Mind our own business and let people live their lives the way they want?

I am all on board for that.

However, we have somehow become a nation of busybodies - as evidenced by... well, everything in our culture currently.

Personally, I am not a fan of gov't regulation in pretty much any arena... But I can see the dangerous directions this idea could be taken in and the simplicity in rolling over and letting personal liberites be further trampled by a nanny-state.

My point exactly. We should stomp these idiots that come up with these ideas...
