Pardon me if I don't care about Joe Schmuck and his fat wife and 2.3 kids. I don't have to stop thinking only about myself. I've been doing it for quite a while now and it suits me fine. I don't plan on living in the States my whole life anyway, and if food were regulated that would just be one more reason for me to leave.

Even if I weren't being completely selfish, it's called personal freedom. The benefit of letting a person become a fat fuck is personal choice. Aside from the health care issue, how is it anyone else's business if I decide I want to be fat and die young? This is not something that is reasonable for a government based on liberty to regulate; if you care about America so much you should realize that government control over people's diets is definitely not compatible with the American dream.
