okay, so i heard on the radio this morning that someone wants to make a law allowing the government to regulate what we are allowed to eat so we don't get so fat. and i thought "now that is crazy. just let us eat what we want to eat. it's going to be like prohibition in the 20's people are going to be eating dounuts and french fries and big macs at secret underground bars." but then i thought about it some more and it's just like a helmet law for motorcyclists (which i ...did...agree with). it's illegal in the state of TN for anyone to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. and they say it's for your own safety. and if you have an accident on a motorcycle without a helmet then you're VERY likely to either going to die, or be in the hospital for a while. and either cost your insurance company a ton of money OR if you happen to not have insurance, then you will cost the state of TN a lot of money. it's sort of the same thing with the food thing, if you get REALLY REALLY fat eating unhealthy things, you're VERY likely to either die early, or need lots of medical help costing either your own insurance company a lot of money or the State of TN. either way, when i think about it, i really don't think the Government has any business telling me what i can and can't eat. or that i HAVE to wear a helmet. (I would not ride a motorcycle without a helmet, i don't have a death wish). I am just so afraid that our country is moving more and more towards socialism/communism! your thoughts?
