You need to read "Nudge" by C. Sunstein. It's about how government can promote healthy choices in our lives.
They tend to institute only those laws which in some fashion enrich and empower themselves. They care nothing for the people that they are supposed to serve. They think the people are there to serve them.
Oh sure, a gov't that kept a National Helium Reserve untill 1996, established in the 1920s when helium airships were considered vital to the national defense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Helium_Reserve
A government that gave women and Indians the right to vote less than 100 years ago, and segregated blacks and whites in the military and schools until little over 50 years ago. A government in which all the richest counties and cities are clustered around Washington DC--all in the name of helping the poor. Why wouldn't I give over all trust and faith to such a gov't? Why wouldn't I simply bend over and let them have their way with me?

Wait a minute, adults SHOULD be able to make healthy decisions. If an ADULT thinks a cookie or candy bar is good for them, then they need to do some reading on the Internet to figure it out. DUH! Aw heck, why not just open a Biggest Loser Cookbook? Why allow the government to make the decisions for the those of us who have figured out that McDonalds shouldn't be eaten for 3 meals a day, 7 days a week?
Anyone who needs the government to make decisions for them is a BABY.
We have the greatest system of government in the world.
It is known as the most perfect system in the history of the planet.
Why would you not trust government to make necessary interventions in your day to day living, especially when most Americans make such poor choices (eating junk foods) on their own free will?
As another poster indicated, as an adult, I don't need the government nor anyone else telling me what I can and cannot consume!
The 3 biggest lies you will ever hear.
1. The check is in the mail.
2. I won't c** in your mouth,
-and-
3. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help!
