I happen to enjoy fast food every now and again and know too well that it's not the best for my body, but as a human who is able to process information given to me and make a choice, why the hell should someone tell me that I can't? It's tasty and doesn't harm anyone but myself and like I said, if you don't abuse it, it won't even harm you all that much. You basically are saying you're down with making everyone's decision for them based on your personal opinion. What gives you, or anyone the right to do that?

(Before everyone starts talking about weed and comparing it's different as it's illegal and we're trying to make it legal. It's not the same as trying to make something illegal that's harmfull but when everyone is aware of the fact and can moderate their consumption of it so there really is no comparison)

Any food is terrible for you in mass quantities but in this day and age the information on nutrition is readily avaliable and if you fail to utilize that in your decision making then tough luck for you. And all the people that say that poorer people are forced to eat terrible diets because they can only afford fast food are just as bad. You make fast food illegal or try to zone out where you can put it (as they did in LA, they restricted fast food restaurants in poorer neighborhoods by zoning out drivethroughs) then you force people to go to the grocery store and buy ramen. MUCH BETTER! Healthier food is just more expensive, making cheap unhealthy food illegal doesn't change anything but cause people to starve. At least they're eating something.

Also if you're going to do that, you should make it illegal to buy certain combinations of food at the grocery store. I could buy a shit ton of salt and butter and meat and cheese and make the same thing and eat it myself. It's okay for me to make it (and probably have no idea of the exact calories I'm eating or daily value of sodium and all that good stuff to know) but I can't eat it prepared and labelled by someone else?

Aye aye aye. Please respond to me about how you can possibly justify making fast food illegal.

And for the original point about the kush, I find it retarded. For those that are unaware of what he's talking about, they want to impose a minimum 25 year sentance in Long Island or somewhere like that, for weed that has more than 15 percent THC. A seperate law for 'kush' marijuana if you will.
