What do you think about this woman's comment on the radio?
Driving home listening to Sean Hannity, he has an interview with a dietician and some other lady, can't remember their names I was too busy laughing at the nut-job dietician.
The dietician believes that it is the government's job to step in and save the people from themselves. Liberals, let's hear it. Do you believe that the government should be allowed to pass laws to stop people from eating certain foods? Or buying 32 oz drinks? Oh by the way, you can buy 32 oz of coke, you just have to pay for two 16 oz cups, seems legit.
But if that's ok, what's next? Pizza? McDonald's getting attacked (again)? Ice-cream sizes? Let's hear when it's NOT cool for the government to tell you what you can and cannot eat/drink/"kill-youself-with"

They do not always die buyt need years of health care over their bad choices that the health industry has to absorb or even worse the "people" have to pay the price.

I assume you are asking if food and drug laws are constitutional. Laws are presumed to be constitutional and one who challenges them has a heavy burden. It is my understanding that the recent decision against the New York City ordinance against 32 oz drinks was based on some sort of equal protection grounds because it applied only to restaurants and not to other sources such as grocery stores. If this was the basis the opinion will be reversed in my estimation. Normally only some rational basis need be shown to survive an equal protection challenge and the proponents of the measure put enough study into it to satisfy this very minimal standard. Many thousands of statutes are passed to protect people from their own improvidance. Social Security might be a good example.

Does it involve a bureaucrat who will never meet you over-ruling your choices? Then all liberals favor it and indeed DEMAND it.
