Wow, since I'm the government, next time I go to New York I can have all the big sugary drinks I want?

Again, you're confusing snack food (including fast food) with "unfit for consumption". You can overeat on anything. Know what's "unfit for human consumption"? Tofu. Rice cakes. Soybean milk. Fruit2O (I actually drink to cut back on sugar and caffeine, but guess which one is more "unfit" if you really want to split hairs. F2O is filler at best.).

And remember, a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. Do you really want to ban foods, including some you may like, or inform people to make their own choices?

a) You are either being stupid or are really stupid. I'm hoping you know what empty calories are but with you lot my confidence is pretty low.

b) You think I'm calling it unfit when in fact pink slime use to be banned in this country and is and has banned all around the world as unfit for consumption.

c) When correctly wield the government can be a powerful ally to its citizens. We do want the government to keep harmful and dangerous food out of our food chain, the question is where do we draw the line as to what should be considered harmful?

d) You are the government though you only get one vote out of millions of votes. Exercise it in Nov to topple the current government and if it doesn't work, well, life goes on and there's always the next time...and do try to remember that being this guy is neither attractive no civilized:
