USDA to ban "Junk Food"

Are people overdoing it to the point that they get in a bad health situation that ends up costing everyone else?
I think food thing is one of those things that infringes on the rights of others and I'd be somewhat glad that government is taking care of them and therefore me. I think nearly "unlimited freedom" has its downsides and a "moderate" or similar approach is much more "healthy". But I'd understand why people there who have grown up with those values and ideals would oppose strongly to that ban or even feel torn on an issue that has no real downside (pragmatically at least... I guess).

[spoiler=]And anyway, if people there really dislike it and really think it infringes on their freedom they can go ahead and make the government change that. You guys are in a country with so much democracy that you want to spread it around the world after all[/spoiler]

I think that people and therefore government should think less in limitations and more on services to help people develop healthy life styles.

Whats the point of eating a balance diet if you don't burn carbs, arthritis, all sorts of other things, including addiction and dependency. I don think "take care of me", is the best way to put it. There should be regulations to create standards. However now you're punishing the people who sell the product, how about people who cant afford that standard of living? I mean anyone who has tried to go "healthy" will tell you about the prices going up considerably.

There is a lot more to this change (in a pessimistic view point) than simply making sure people live to the best they can, in which case I feel as though a lot of peoples general perspective here is "the end justifies the means".

It personally doesn't bother me that much, if at all, but this is definitely a topic that can be fleshed out on.
