Put a gun to your head? Nope. Have the government force people to eat like I do? Nope.
I don’t eat wheat because it makes me physically ill (probably an allergy), and do not sugar because then I can’t lose weight. If I eat a donut, not only do I experience indigestion but I gain a pound. My doctor has told that is impossible but hey! My scale doesn’t lie, so I haven’t eaten a donut in forty-one years.
The Frist Amendment was intended for political speech, but it works just as well to warn people about things out in the marketplace that could harm them. Ultimately, the individual is responsible for the health and well being of him/herself. Government as nanny should be unnecessary.
That's most unfortunate ... millions of your neighbours eat XXXXXX and metabolize it without any difficulty whatsoever.
Government as nanny should be unnecessary.
Not "should be". "Is".
When folks start ranting on about XXXXXX being "poison" ... those who are inclined in the direction of "nanny state" tend to start trying to get XXXXXX banned ... and those who hear "poison" and think in terms of phosgene, organophosphates, or heavy metals are inclined to go along with the nanny-state crowd.
Jus' sayin' ...
