If more people took care of their own health we would all benefit. Medical costs would go down.If all Americans supported our president during the war, perhaps it would be over by now. If more Americans supported the government's efforts to root out terrorists, perhaps we'd be a little safer. Your side's selective defense of individual rights is appalling. The fact that salt is bad and that less salt consumption could be healthier is irrelevant. Jeez, we've fought countless wars to defend ourselves against this sort of thinking, now we are poised to inflict it on ourselves. If salt makes us sicker, and if that drives up health costs, pay the fucking medical bills. I don't want the government to use the excuse that freedom of choice is too "expensive" to allow. When that mindset becomes embedded in society, we are doomed. |
