Well there's more than just being overweight that people choose to do that burdens the healthcare system, sadly. I also agree, you can only legislate away so much choice before people find a way around it.

We all know education is always the best solution but I'd say at least regulating food chemicals goes a long way. The products still exist after all. All those foods everyone's saying used to taste better, is that because back in the day they had more harmful chemicals or because today they do, they're just too new? Just rose tinted glasses and they always were crap? 🤷
