New York City / Rights Without Responsibility / The Cost
If you live in New York City, you have a right to drink as much sugary-soft-drinks as you want, not to mention your right to consume other high calorie processed foods. And, if all of that makes you overweight or obese, you have a right to be that way. And if being that way causes you to have a stroke or heart attack, you may have a right to get a "free" bypass operation or whatever treatment you may need (compliments of New York City).
The above rights are untouchable. It may cost the average New Yorker upwards of $500,000,000 per year to supply the "free" medical services but that makes no difference. You may have to give up some of your money to pay for those services if you live there, but so what? What makes you think you have any rights? You may have to give up some of your money but don't expect soda drinkers to give up even 4 ounces of their cherished soda. It's just too big of a sacrifice, and you have no right to expect it. Let's talk about the rights of those who pay the bills! What rights do we have? |

Who really has the right to tell someone what and how much of anything they may eat or drink?

Well, on the other hand a lot of women think it is their right to have as many babies as they choose which we will also support. How do you suggest we fix that? which is probably a much larger drain on society than some people drinking pop.
The the problem with right and responsibilities - who gets to make the decision. I for one believe in the United States it is each person's right to choose than suffer the consequences - so maybe that is where we are off base - saving people from consequences they have created for themselves. |

Who really has the right to tell someone that they must pay for the healthcare of someone who has health issues related to being overweight or obese?

News flash - we're paying for a whole lot more healthcare for folks other than issues of being overweight or obese and I would guess statistics would show that is the least of our problems.

Y'know, this is not exclusively a New York problem. Big Gulps are sold nationwide. People are breeding without a license everywhere.

It's amazing how many people are willing to sell their souls & freedoms so cheaply.

Someone is telling me what I can or cannot eat? I think not! Imagine if you were told that a particular food you enjoy is now "off limits?" You eat a diet that keeps you fit and healthy. Others have different diets that also keep them fit and healthy and contrary to what some might think, a treat every once in a while is not the problem. Telling anyone that legislation will be passed because, seems very wrong. Other approaches might be better.....education for one.
