> "Daren Bakst, a fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation, said the law equates to government overreach. 'It’s not up to the government to influence what people eat — that should be left up to each individual,' he said." I wonder if he has the same 'feels' about legalizing all illegal drugs? Seems most conservatives only support laws that fit their 'narrative'.. I'm obese, I sit and code all day, and I don't think people 'should' do lsd/weed/heroine/etc... but I don't think they should go to jail if they end up in the rat-trap of addiction. It's a mental health issue, and the distribution lines should be only ones policed imho.. But why is the DEA not government overreach for enforcing 'possession' but listing calorie counts so people can purposefully limit intake is?
