IMHO, the legislature showed courage in doing the right thing by successfully acting to right the wrong, especially under the likelihood of there being an attack from the unofficial, self-appointed "FOOD POLICE!"
Yes I did say food police! Sometimes "emotionally charged" language is necessary when addressing an important, "emotionally charged" issue!
So, what is the next step for the pro "NANNY STATE" individuals within our government? Is it to empower the official "FOOD POLICE" with, spot checks at a family's dining room table? Spy on them at picnics? Place surveillance on them when they go to amusement parks or other venues where food can be obtained? I certainly hope that it doesn't come to that, but without people and organizations being vigilant against such acts, you can never know what could happen or where we could go in the future!

They could put DNA samplers on toilets to see just how nutritional various households meals are.
Does seem that Big Brother can go too far with taking charge of others' lives. Give us the information and let us decide for ourselves rather than forcing us to eat or drink or not whatever. Do think Michelle Obama's obesity campaign is a worthwhile one though as long as it stays within the parameters of common sense.
