we all very well know that many americans dont give a rats behind about what they are consuming. which is why we face the issue of obesity. i feel that i am going to take care of my body to the best of my ability up until the day i die. i will not live with the mindset " im going to die anyway". so i feel even though as an adult we should make the decision on our own , the government is the only way anything will be fixed. If it were up to us as adults instead of the governements PROTECTION about many other situations life as we know it would more or less be shot to hell....so it shouldnt be up to the governement but since humans overall are so helpless , there needs to be some guidance towards whats right and wrong for us....
