I picked the second one. We all know that trans fats are bad, but the government should have no control over what people eat. If a person is overweight, it's their responsibilty to go on a diet. Even if they decide not to do something about their own personal health, it doesn't give the government the right to tell people what they can and can't eat.

There are plenty of perfectly healthy people who enjoy these foods, but they can't anymore, because they're banned. Take me for example, I'm at a healthy weight and all that. But that doesn't mean I don't go out for pizza every once in a while. There's nothing wrong with it.

Like I said, if someone is living an unhealthy lifestyle, it's not the government's job to go and restrict foods. It's the person's job to take responsibilty for their health.


And I would never feel pain / and never be without pleasure, ever, again / and if the reign stops, and everything's dry, he would cry just so I could drink the tears from his eyes...
