look at this site...http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15020846/?GT1=8506
so now they are banning things like this? they make us wear seatbelts(which i do and i understand the need for a law for minors to wear them) the list goes on and on....how can they make laws on stuff like this, if people want to make themselves fat then let them. It is not the governments place to tell us what to eat and not eat. Even though i agree that people are way too over weight i dont agree that our government should tell us what we can and cannot not eat!

I don't think its necessarily that they are telling us not to do things like our mothers or fathers would be, I think they are just telling us effects of such things. Wearing seatbelts are for safety reasons, eating healthy is good for you. As Americans we do have the right to do most things that we want, like warning people of safety hazards and what foods are not healthy. Its not like the government is saying you can no longer eat Burger King and you will be shot on spot for doing so.

We've lost our freedoms, although we still have mote freedoms than most countries the ones that count are carefully being taken away and we as voters are not doing anything abouti t, we vote and think that it is over and it really isn't!! We have to make it known that as a voter I am going to be in your business on your votes, I am going to hear what you are saying, and I am going to ensure that you stick by the promises you made as a candidate before you recieved my vote. We drop the ball and they blow it up in our faces. Our freedoms are gone because of us no other reason than that.

We are free in ways that no other countries are. Namely free press, which you will find in litterally no other countries on earth. Religious freedom,gun rights and free elections. If you don't like seatbelt laws, vote for some one who will repeal them

It has been said that America is only as free as a the padlocked prison doors that millions of Americans live behind. Do you know that there are more jails and prisons in America that there are schools? Do you know that millions of innocent Americans have been put to death wrongly in America, expecially down in the state of Texas? Do you know that young men and women are raped daily in American prisons? Do you know that men and women are murdered daily in American prisons? Do you know that men and women are tortured daily in American prisons, especially up North in Illinois?
When will Americans finally reform the prison systems?

I agree w/ you.
We should be able to stuff are mouth w/ all kinds of junk food.
It's our choice if we want junk food or healthy food.

You must be a young and intelligent and a conservative.
Liberals believe that it's government's job to take care of us, because we are not capable of taking care of ourselves.
Thank you for your question.
There is still hope for us!!!!!
