Once again, our do-goodie liberal friends are trying to legislate personal choice.
This time, it's fast food. They are seriously contemplating using zoning laws to lessen the number of fast food joints "to combat obesity".

Everbody and their mother knows that gulping down greasy shit you buy at McDonalds on a regular basis is going to kill you. Yet if people choose to do it, they should be allowed to do it until they all fucking die of heart decease. Unless fast food is illegal. Which it isn't. Blah blah blah.
Same argument as with smoking: the concept of freedom includes freedom to be stupid and die of a coronary at 40 because your dumb fat ass was living in McDonalds.
Today it's smoking and greasy food. Tomorrow I won't be allowed to drink alcohol (that shit is baaad). And I will be forced to exercise every day for two hours (not looking well is baaad). And eat only vegan shit (killing cows is baaad).
No brain-dead liberal politician may stand in the way of me eating a nice juicy steak, gulping down a glass of White Lightning, smoking a Cuban cigar and watching nastiest porn ever, all the while comfortably resting my fat ass in a chair made of fresh cow skin and doing absofuckinglutely nothing good to my health. Should such be my choice.
