The Government Wants To Be Our Nanny

Check this out. Wisconsin is debating how to combat obesity, a right honorable goal. They are getting serious about changing zoning laws to limit the number of fast-food businesses in certain areas, ESPECIALLY in poor areas.

Do they think that poor people are dumb; that they cannot make their own choices? Do we have to legislate where they can buy the food they might like? Will KFC now be miles away causing the poor to waste more gas to get what they want. Where is the freedom of choice? And why pick on
poor folks. If it is so good for them, how about the rest of us fatties? I too have a problem seeing a McDonald's across from a Burger King, next to a Pizza Hut, kitty-corner from a Wendy's. But for me it is problem of choice. Not which food, but which restaurant has the best deals that day. Can't beat that dollar menu. Oh, I'll bet they want to do away with that too so the poor people can't take the few dollars they have a get a whole meal.

This is government regulation gone awry. I have a right to my Angus burgers, and so do the poor. This is blatant discrimination. Eaters of the world, unite!
