There is an inherent danger in allowing the government to make too many of our decisions. It is one thing to make a recommendation, educate etc but quite another to enforce. It is a short leap from government advising to government interference. Just look at what government has done with business regulations that are strangling companies with red tape.
Why is it that with abortion "pro-choice" is favored by liberals? However when it comes to a person's private eating habits "pro-choice" isn't an option?
Less and smaller government is the main theme in this election year. So Team Obama will attempt to put his best foot forward and advertise on how much better we would be to sit back and let the government drive. Before you swallow that line repeat to yourself Greece, Greece, Greece.

There's quite a lot of difference between eating oneself overweight and getting pregnant and wondering how you are going to feed, cloth, educate, house, and love a child that may not be more than 14 or 15 years younger than you when you are 29. I have met mothers who started having kids at 14.
There are also many areas where regulations are necessary for the welfare of citizens and non-citizens of the US like with safety in transportation, food processing, water purification, mental health, medicine, drugs, alcohol, firearms, coining of money, electricity and nuclear energy, education, etc.
