    Seriously, do you know what eating right means ? Most people don’t have a clue.

    Can you name any foods in a licensed food market or restaurant that isn’t govt regulated from beginning to end including being subject to regular inspections. ? I’ll wait. Geesus, even the water is subject to testing on a regular basis.

    So you’re for expanding that to absolute government control over what’s on the menu?

    Oh, so now you are finally getting it. No I’m not into controlling what you eat. I am into controlling* what is in the labels of all foods and their nutritional value and requiring more healthy options be offered for the SAME COST.

    there is nothing wrong with putting all foods that pass for healthy foods but aren’t and consolidating them in one isle labeled......” these foods suck”

    Every one needs clearer delineation and better foods AVAILABLE. They aren’t.

    You did not take the increasing levels of illness that come with increased use of pharm products into account. Americans are fatter and sicker than ever and this "Medicare for all" is only making things worse. Our problems with obesity and illness is not a spending problem or Americans would be the healthiest on the planet.

    Pharm companies are enjoying record profits while Americans are paying with their lives.

    Get what? You want to dictate how people price and sell their products to the point of telling them what aisle to put them on? Seriously? Good Lord.

    We are a country.

    When those with low incomes lost their jobs, can't pay rent, don't have enough money to pay for kids getting internet access to the only schooling available, can't afford health care, etc., AND the wealthy are getting richer faster than ever, something is absolutely WRONG about our country.

    Telling these peoole to eat **** and die is NOT an option. They are all ours, just like other country's citizens are all theres.

    We're not somehow cooler or superior for not giving a crap about our citizens. We're not richer as a country because we screwed the poor folks. We're not morally superior for causing people to try to raise their families while living in tents on the streets.

    Our country and EVERY OTHER first world country believes there are fundamental needs that we as a country believe need to be met. And, when individuals can't meet those needs, there is a government interest in helping.

    You don't have to go to school AT ALL to recognize that fact.

    Ha ha. It’s food, the staple of life. We have govt control because it’s a necessity. You think perhaps the air we breath should not be regulated for purity ? Everyone should be allowed to pollute the atmosphere with no accountability and food suppliers the same.

    The right thinks everything should be free. They want taxes cut but still want public services.

    Now you're just posting nonsense. What a company puts into the air is not a personal decision I impact very significantly. What I put in my mouth is 100% my control.

    Now, you want to dictate what people charge for goods that you don't like. Sounds totalitarian. Then, to one-up yourself, you want to dictate where grocery stores can display their products, lol.

    You’re delusional. Unless you hunt and fish and farm your own food, you have little to no control of what you put in your mouth. Geesus, you don’t even know all your food has been genetically altered for decades. You have no control over the additives. You could be eating dried sht and you’re totally dependent upon the govt to at least post it in the label.

    One time I bought a chorizo breakfast taco and opened it up to put salsa on it. There were two roaches stuck in the cheese. Dead, thankfully. I did not put them in my mouth.

    Why? Because that's my choice. Thanks for missing the point... intentionally.

    Seriously ? You were wrong about govt regulation and it’s roll in every bit of food you consume, now you’re doubting/ asking about the infrastructure you use daily totally regulated by the same local, state and federal gov.
