[QUOTE="Hawkman, post: 3146913, member: 29933"] I think most of us agree that such legislation that limits choices or makes purchasing soda/etc. more expensive is not the best way to go about making for a healthier America, and certainly not a freer America. My question then is thus, what are ways governments can incentivize people (adults or children) to eat healthier without stepping on anyone's toes or spending an absurd amount of money? *Should* government even play a role in advocating what we should or shouldn't consume? Without knowing all the particulars, I think Michelle Obama's Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act had good intentions by offering healthier alternatives at schools, but was far overreaching. What do you guys think? I'd be curious to hear what potential ideas you all offer up! [/QUOTE]
