BAD CHOICES ALLOWED

Health economist Eric Finkelstein poses a naive question:

"People make choices, and some people will choose a weight that the public health community might be unhappy about. Why should we try to make them thinner?"

Finkelstein obviously doesn't realize our calorie intake is controlled by the likes of KFC, Coca Cola and McDonalds and that only government can save us from the corporate conspiracy to make us fat.
