Government control over what you eat? Sounds like Communism.

So we've all heard that the government wants to control what your kids can and can not eat at school, which I find personally reasonable considering school is a government establishment therefore they can serve whatever the hell they want, your in big mamas school house and you'll damn well eat what she tells you to, that way you'll grow up nice and strong and wont be a burden on the healthcare system (which the government will be providing) so this makes sense.

 But when do they cross the line? 

Well some congressmen think it's a good idea to control what privately owned establishments serve, such as Mikey D's or Wen D's Which seems like going too far if you ask me, however if the country does decide to go along with a socialist healthcare system, should they do more to prevent illness therefore releasing the stress on the system and lowering taxpayer healthcare cost?

I remember when they were trying to limit salt intake and make it illegal for restaurants to have salt at their tables. This is pure crap.

In my opinion this is one step too far. I can also understand the control in schools,however, the control of private eating habits should not be done.

I'm with ScottD on this. It's not the government's job to tell me what I can and can't put into my body whether it's unhealthy or not. I'm an adult and can make my own damn choices.

One more here that agrees with ScottD.

At least in America, expecting the majority of the nation's people to do the right thing and hold back on the sweets, and the eating is foolish.

Sad to say, but we've gone soft in a lot of ways. Nobody can properly lose weight.

State food control is kinda strange. Don't they plan to control how many times a week people have sex?

Probably, china is doing it so why not, they gotta control population somehow.
