Government to promote healthier citizens? Express your views

I personally wouldn't like the government stepping in to tell me how to eat. I think it is everyone's responsibility to take care of themselves.

we have a winner....don't say I personally, THAT is what is good and right PERIOD, the government has absolutely NO RIGHT.

i def. feel we need something to change.
the healthcare debate has been going on for a while, and 70% of healthcare costs come from illness directly related to obiesity.

fat people are bankrupting are country.shit needs to end.

Let them die.....This bullshit where hospitals treat EVERYONE even if they can't possibly pay needs to stop. Sorry, healthcare is NOT a right. And if you've made yourself a complete fatass and not planned for the eventualities that's your own stupidity taking hold.

^^^ exactly.... But noomoto is not about the government telling you how to eat. It's about giving tax breaks or other form of incentive to the people so that healthy foods have an attractive apart from the health... Cause If u wanna get fish an batter u can eat like three or 4 portions for a little over 5 bucks... Vs buying the same type of fish in fillet or just the bloody fish.....and frenchfries ... Vs sweet potatoes ... Or the chicken wing (that has xenobiotic bacteria) is so much cheaper than the equivalent lean Brest ( in meat weight)

I don't like when I'm in the bus and a 300 lb+ person walks in and expects people to give their seats to them and what not....

lets go with **** no....the gov't has no say. One can use their common sense and see how CHEAP and SHITTY the ingredients that go into junk food are. Why shouldn't you be expected to pay more for food that actually nourishes your body instead of killing it? Taxes....they're just wrong, and mostly illegal.

I'd like to see someone try this...punch that fat **** in the face...then trip him

I think the Government can promote the general welfare but it can not provide for the general welfare. Meaning this is a free country and citizens should be allowed to live however they want within reason. Certainly over eating and bad diets are detrimental to some peoples health, however Free Will should be the very principle that this country abides by. If you have the government legislate what you can and cannot eat. That leaves the door open for them to say, you cant do such and such activity or love who you want, ect.

Right on.....i do say....i couldn't have said it better myself. That's what's up.

I don't think they are looking to make eating unhealthy illegal..... just looking at taxing junk food more heavily. Giving more incentive to eat healthy......

again...**** no....that's legislating choice and morality....it's WRONG....the gov't has absolutely no right telling people what's good for them or not. And ESPECIALLY it has no right making what it THINKS is best more attractive to the consumer. COMPLETE BULLSHIT
