Now, how much healthier do you expect the government will help us get with obesity policies, tax payer money to help diminish certain foods, legislation to curtail them, and benefits to organizaions who toe the line? Any unintended consequences?

Once again, what's next... and where do we draw the line at surrendering our own responsibility?
