Now Big Brother is telling us what we can and can't eat??!!!

The smoking ban was tough on smokers, but at least there was some
rationale that the non-smoking public was put at risk by second-hand
smoke. But who does it hurt when we eat a Big Mac??!


I always suspected that targeting smokers was the thin end of the wedge
until our eating habits were called into question too. Next, look out if
you buy a bottle of wine to have with your meal more than x times a week..


I know. It's a bit frightening to me thinking that government is giving
itself the right to decide *for* me what's good for me. Human beings are
just too different for that type of "what's good for me must be good for
you" mentality.
