Why Should The Government Put Regulations On What We Eat

In America there are over hundreds of thousands of people that have some type of obesity caused by many things. The government does not like obesity in many ways, so they want to put regulations on what we eat. But here are reasons they should not put regulations on what people eat; the government can spend their funds elsewhere more important, people will smuggle unauthorized food, and finally people really would not change their eating habits.

The government can go spend their funds elsewhere more important because U.S. residents will be furious if the government puts regulations on food people like to eat. The government has more important things to worry about, like the fight for cancer or even feed starving families on the streets. If the government does put regulations and ban sugary foods and drinks, they will fine businesses $200 for violating the ban (Park). And plus most people are able to make their own decisions on what they eat to be healthy. It seems that the government likes to monitor what people eat instead of looking at the families that are starving. This supports

It would not make any sense to have food regulations, because honestly people could just easily get unauthorized food. Like instead of having underground casinos there will most likely be underground illegal restaurant; they will be serving fatty foods and sugary drinks, because of customer satisfaction. Yeah, obesity is a bad thing but still the government does not need to put regulations on what we eat, but to encourage us to eat healthy. So if the ban does go through people will find ways to get a hold of their favorite food. This supports my claim because the crime rate will rise and the police does not have time to be apprehending people for having food they like to
