Good Lord NO -The government never ever tries to control what people eat. It is the rsponsibility of the person to consider what goes into his/her mouth. The government does offer a nutrition site that has the food pyramid to teach you portion size and control and to ensure you eat a balanced diet. It is your responsibility to eat these tiny portions and exerecise each and every day. I know because I am as obese as you can get and still move.
