I think the gov. needs to stay out of it.

What next?

A tax for not going to the gym?
A tax for having a BMI over 25?
A tax for not buying organic?


Where does it stop?

one way or another they are going to control our bodies...

no, seriously....whats the platform here? Is it really a health issue? If so, why not eliminate coffee? How about sweet n low at the tables? Oh wait... chemicals to clean the bathrooms pose a health risk so maybe .... Tap water should NEVER be served... and while we are at it, free range eggs should only be offered. Forget ordering pancakes and eggs for under $10 anymore.

I as an adult make the choices of what goes in my body..through ALL orifices. No one has the right to tell me what I can or cant do with my orifices. If I want to eat salt until my tongue falls out from dehydration, thats my perogative.

The thought that we could CHOSE what goes into our restaurant meals brings visuals of ingredient boxes next to the pretty pictures in the menu.

and so, if its a choice, will the restaurants jump on this and charge EXTRA for salt or other "additives"?

We are a capitalistic society and this would certainly be a possible outcome...

I need to go let off some steam...
