So hypocritical! They want nobody telling them what to do with their bodies, yet try to tell everyone what's not good for them, and make laws to force us to change. It's kind of an oxymoron.

It's pretty easy really.

The difference is abortion is a personal choice each woman has to make on her own while the regulation of consumer products for sale is a regulation of business. The cartoon uses hyperbole to get the point across, as few actual bans have been proposed...and only extreme NGO groups have called for banning meat.

Of course every person can make a personal choice as to what they will put into their body. The questions are: Can consumer products be regulated? Then of course...Is abortion a "consumer product"? It is regulated, like the substances mentioned, none of which have actually been banned.

While I am not a proponent of banning "unhealthful" foods, I'm perfectly fine with such things as nutritional information mandates. As science progresses and we learn more about dietary considerations, it is the province of government to educate the public in such matters. It is in the interest of the general welfare of the nation our consumer products not kill us.

If corporations are dealing in death by selling toxic products, I'm perfectly fine with various regulations on these products. These could be taxes, age based limitations, warning labels, limitations on amounts purchased at one time and perhaps yes, depending on the useful facility of the product, outright bans.

The Constitution gives legal power to regulate interstate commerce. The 9th Amendment explains that we have rights, such as privacy, even though it isn't listed. So...while you may...and I'm certain will, disagree, I find the differences easy to understand.

Oh my god....I have been breaking the laws and eating salt and sugar and drinking soda.....this is that rightwing paranoia...they actually believe it. Jen has gotten herself all worked up over the cartoon....with paranoia again.
How do feel about those damn food inspectors? If a restaurant wants to sell rancid meat....that's his right. If a grocer wants to sell booze to teens, that's his right. If I want kids to smoke that's my right...no one is taking away sugar and salt ,cake and candy.....but seems you thrive on irrational fears.
Back to my chocolate because they're coming for it!
By the way, these regulations ,,how do they tell us what to do with our bodies?

Oh...you want regulations? What's dumb is thinking were going to have sugar and soda banned. That is your trouble, you like to pick and choose what you want from the gov and the hell with everyone else.

You really go whole hog on this Democratic dogma that it's okay to lie if it furthers your agenda, don't you: "Jen has gotten herself worked up over the cartoon with paranoia again"? Really?

Psssst. My posting an example of Liberal hypocrisy then mocking it is not the same as "getting worked up" about it. But you knew that and lied anyway. That oughta impress your lil pals.

No, I don't think you'll be banning these things.....I just think you'd like to. But I don't believe it will happen. It's ok with you to have the government involved in some things, and not others. It all depends on what "you" want. I think the government should stay out of ALL our lives. You want them involved if you think it's going to help your agenda.
