In a country where easily over half of all disease is due to lifestyle the logical end to all this is government coercion to live a healthy lifestyle. The law already paved the way to using the tax code as a means to coerce people to buy insurance so obviously the tax code can be used to curb smoking and the consumption of saturated fat. Nevermind that the experts disagree on whether or not saturated fat is a health food humans have been eating for a million years and is in fact released every time one loses weight or if it is the worst kind of fat that should be replaced with refined, deoderized, filtered, superheated oil made from poisonous rapeseeds (canola oil). Wow, we could generate enough political bickering to keep the AMA and politicians paid forever.
