I think it's reasonable that all people (or their guardians) know exactly what they are putting in their bodies. We have an entire infrastructure of schools to educate people regarding healthy and unhealthy choices - if people choose something else who are you or I to say they shouldn't consume it? I would argue electrical wiring or other infrastructure is no different. If it poses no threat to my neighbors' property or infringe on their rights in any way, why shouldn't I be free to proceed? I'm not saying that I'm not glad that there are standards I can expect a contractor to meet - I just don't think they should be a requirement. In the computing world we have POSIX - it's great if an OS implements it, but a very popular one which has succeeded in the market is not beholden to the standard (though at one time implemented it). Unfortunately, this is why I'm also against universal health care. There is a huge conflict of interest. People who make stupid dietary decisions are going to use the majority of health care resources available. It is unlikely that someone making smart, healthy choices will be able to get the same benefit. While I think a basic level of care would benefit all people, I am unwilling to act as an enabler for people who have no interest in looking out for their own best interest. There needs to be an underlying expectation that people are responsible for their own choices and actions. People need to be more active in their decision making, not have choices taken away from them.
