What do guys think about food regulation? How far should it be a free market? Presumably you are for safety standards. Do you think there should regulation on amounts of sugar, fats placed into food etc? Also how about labeling? Should the government enforce food companies to clear label not just their ingredients but also the calories, sugar etc.

There’s plenty of talk about obesity epidemic which sounds a little hysterical but no doubt people are getting fatter.

Then they will deny hip transplants to those who are overweight because according to the government, that is why they need a hip transplant.
They will also let the elderly suffer and die as they don’t warrant the cost and use of resources.

If they’re gonna start taxing unhealthy foods, then will black market street vendors be selling freedom fries in dark allies lest the food police come and tax em (patriotically of course)?

Sorry, not “Black Market.” I meant to say Federally Undone Consumer Cost Edited Derivatives

At this rate, the black market won’t be looked upon with distain but with admiration. Part of “civil disobediance”.

Cigs, booze, pop, back room health clinics, etc…..it will become a sport, hobby and profession.

Didn’t they do this in the Colonial days?

To think this started with alcohol revenue taxes, Prohibition, then a continual series of cigarette taxes. These people will tax everything they think a vice or unhealthy for you, or try to control anything else that they don’t like. They are fascist fanatics that want to force everyone to follow their particular dogmas. It doesn’t take religion or god to be a fanatic, It all comes down to forcing of their belief system on others.

I drink Diet Coke as well – too much of it. They put too much sugar in standard soda drinks – although that’s up to us to decide whether we want it or not. However doesn’t Diet Coke has Aspartame which is controversial.

If they put up taxes slightly up on certain foods then it should be to lower the costs of other foods if they want to influence healthy eating. However this isn’t the case – it looks like an old fashioned stealth tax.
