We don't need the idiots in government telling us what we can eat, drink or smoke. Adults should be making those decisions for themselves.

What next adding alcohol ? Government is addicted to the tax money.

That works for me, good for Greenlick's efforts....but is there a reason why you are posting an article that is almost a year old?
