I see your point, however..... Do you want to pay $10 for a Chee Burger Chee Burger just because the Government doesn't want to you get fat with high cholesteral. Perhaps cars should be taxed more to promote the use of bicycling and exercise to mandate better health. Where do we draw the line? Well, err I mean where does the Government draw the line? As it grows larger, we grow smaller...IMHO
