Obesity kills over 200,000 Americans each year.
Passing this much-needed legislation, to eliminate these tragic deaths, would be for our own good.
I know some of you like to complain about the so-called "nanny state", but these laws would be for the betterment of society.

Its not the government's job to baby us in regards to what we eat. Their job should be to ensure there's no poison in the food.
The reason so many people are fat is because they're too lazy to care about what they eat. So the people are responsible for themselves.

Why would the Government care? I feel that if they wanted to spy on us they would be more concerned about other aspects of our daily lives...

Eating for pleasure is Christianity's way around sin.

How very unamerican of you. Maybe we stop people from driving seeing so many people are killed every year? Maybe no more contact sports in schools because some many kids get hurt?
I defend Freedom.
Dictators like you are the enemy of Freedom. You Suck!

Yes, do this but also get drunk drivers off the road, get people texting and talking on phones off the road too! Because since January of this years I've had 28 deaths in my family! 12 of them was because of drunk drivers who had offend before! 10 was from someone else texting while driving and due to people talking on the phone. But that's alright it's more important to keep obesity off the streets instead....makes sense!! My next door neighbor lost her 5 year old son because he was playing on the front door step and a 5 times drunk diver offender drove through a stop sign and didn't realize that he couldn't go straight. Drove straight across the road 8000 feet from where the grass line started into the front of the house and killed this child who was doing nothing wrong...
Hey don't get me wrong it's true obesity is killing a lot of people but their killing themselves no one else! We choice to put these foods in our bodies and some there are some people who medical conditions which beyond their control are over weight! And some of it parents are letting their children sit in the house ALL day long playing on the computer they should be outside playing instead!! All the control in the world on food intake will not help these people and children who just sit there all day doing absolutely nothing! Yes you have to watch what you eat and how much as well, but if you don't move and get exercise it's not going to do much good!
There's a lot of us out here that do not need that kind of control on what eat! My wife and I raised 17 kids and none of them were ever over weight and as adults their still not over weight and neither are their kids! So why should we suffer for the ones who can't control themselves with food? I totally agree something needs to be done but we all shouldn't pay for others mistakes or laziness!!
Orignal From: Regarding obesity: With IRS data, and available technology/hardware, we can limit calorie intake. Why not?
