How in the hell are you going to force dumb asses to eat healthy food?
Pass another law to make us force feed them? Geez! O_o


Who said anything about forcing them?

Making sure they have the education and the information to
make a genuinely informed choice about their food shopping
and intake is enough -- market forces will take care of the
rest.


Idiot. Market forces *HAVE* taken care of it. They have *CHOSEN* to
eat crap so that is what is offered.

Which is a very good argument in favor of providing healthy, fresh and
tasty food in schools, building community gardens, and using vacant land
in cities for small commercial truck gardens.

Oh, and what you will really hate even more, government and private
charity PSAs and educational programs about health, healthy eating and
fitness.

One of the main reasons to have a government at all is to counteract
harmful effects of market forces.
