You are directly insinuating that people are too stupid to take care of themselves and have no clue as to which lifestyles they lead are healthy or not.
Just because some Govt programs are so entrenched does not mean they can not and should not be incrementalized away just as they were foisted upon us by elites buying votes with OPM in direct conflict with Govt's original mandate of protecting our pre-existing natural rights. Free peoples plan their own lives - we don't need no stinkin "legislators" thinking for us. ALL Fedl programs should be summarily phased out - and only those with merit enough should be transferred to the states where they always belonged to begin with, and where the voters, NOT the SCOTUS, are the arbitors of legislation THEY, not big business influenced pols, deems necessary to themselves.

Yes, I think people are too stupid to understand basic nutrition. We can't just step over the bodies and go on our way, feeling so superior.
