Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

You guys are taking this too far. The government has an obligation to create and enforce laws that promote public safety. By your reasoning the government should not enact any environmental or sanitation standards either. Heck, it's my yard, if I want to dump my used motor oil into the sewer I should be allowed too, right? What about speed limits, or heck, traffic laws of any sort? Why can't I just drive however I want? Speed Limits are for sissys ... kidding ... First of all most of my posts are very sacrastic with that stuff. I fully understand that the government has a responsibility to keep us safe. I question at what point do they cross over the line and where is the line? I also think that it's somewhat of a crock, because people need to take responsibility for themselves to make smart choices. The government is playing mom and dad, here's what you can eat, here's what you can't. I'm actually all for getting rid of transfats, but have the companies do it, don't make it a law. Does anyone watch Boston Legal? They had an episode where some governor banned red meat because he feared a mad cow outbreak ...
