You don't have to like it but at least make a reasonable attempt to understand it.

How are actions like Bloomberg's going to reduce the amount of soda that fatties drink? When did deciding the size of restaurant servings become a government responsibility? If someone wants a smaller portion, they should order one. Now the judiciary should get involved?
I understand a "nanny state" perfectly well.

I really have no idea where you are going with this. Let's keep this friendly, as fellow Redskin fans.
I was just pointing out you were the one railing about McDonald's earlier.
