I'm not saying, that I live a 100% health conscious life.
Everybody (me included) getting ill or injured gets help from the system, thats what it's here for. It's a good thing, so paying is totally accaptable.
But IMO getting really obese is such a long term condition, that can be prevented and should. If you're not able to care for yourself, the government intervenes (and in extreme cases bans things).
tl;dr You don't wake up one morning being obese.

I know someone like this.. The bitch wants to ban GMO foods though.. If she wants to eat like a picky organic only eating rabbit then she can but she doesn't have to destroy my food source.. She doesn't even eat meat.. Why she pissing all over the GMO salmon..?
You know what's really hypocritical? The overall ban, tax and general rage on cigarettes, worse being in Australia, I think.
I know there are a lot of you who go "yeah, go smoke, faggot, enjoy your cancer" and "cigarettes are pure poison, herp derp, have some blunt, 420 blaze it faggot!", but let's put it like this:
What's difference between smoking 3 packs of cigarettes in one night and drinking 3 bottles of vodka?...
Simple logic: Cigarettes MAY kill you in 20-30 years of smoking (and I mean 1 pack/day). Alcohol, when abused, can wreck your shit in 1 year.
Just saying.

As long as people are educated about the dangers and the product is non addictive (or at least addiction can be kicked with a reasonable amount of willpower, such as the case with chocolate) no foods should be banned.
I keep seeing images of this hippie chick and all I can think is "I wonder what she's like in bed"
Iv been drinking Energy drinks and Soda ever since i was 7... I am healthy and have had no problems. Its mostly if you exercise or sit on your ass. If i ever get diabetes or any health problems im going to blame myself. Im the one choosing to put the shit in my body :|

Sugary drinks such as soda greatly contribute to the obesity epidemic in this country, the absolute ignorance as to what most consumers willingly put into their body is shocking. The fatter the population you have = more people with healthcare problems = a higher rate that people pay on their health insurance premiums, even those who are responsible and demonstrate a healthy lifestyle. You can argue against the effectiveness of the law, but its core objective does have some merit.

The obesity epidemic is really US-specific and specific to the past 20 years (at the most).
There's no obesity epidemic in Europe nor in any other well-fed part of the world and there's no ban of sodas there.
Also, there was no ban of sodas nor was there a famine in the US prior to the US obesity epidemic.
Bring the Liberal pseudo-intellectuals.

I am utterly stumped by what point you are trying to communicate. Please refine and further polish what your trying to say if you have something intelligent to add. Americans DO have an abnormally high consumption of soft drinks, especially compared to that of Europe, even a quick google search verifies that. (www .nationmaster.com/graph/foo_sof_dri_con-food-soft-drink-consumption). We consume near double the amount of the runner-up, Canada. Your out of your fucking mind if you think that is not indicative of a problem. And your right, there is not a large obesity epidemic in Europe. That's due to a myriad of different factors, one of them certainly being less soda consumption, as evident by the graph.
Americans have developed some of worst eating habits in the world thanks to the new era of high-calorie/low-nutrient foods. Your a moron if you cant see why there needs to be some restraint, because at this present time most Americans do not possess any.

Banning large sodas comes from the same dipshit school of thought that wants to ban large magazines in guns. It completely collapses under the slightest bit of critical thinking. When the soda ban goes into effect here in New York I'm just going to buy 2 sodas if I'm really thirsty. When that nutcase shot up Virginia Tech he didn't say "Magazines can only hold 10 bullets, looks like I'm only shooting 10 people" he brought 17 fucking magazines and fired every single one of them anyway. Bans like these accomplish absolutely nothing.
