The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences.

Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.

New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.

I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.

"... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.

New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.

taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

Some feel that smoking should be a personal choice, but at what cost to others. Smoking is a freedom that affects those around you. They infringe on someone's choice to not smoke.

The only way to isolate the situation I believe would be to make cigarette illegal. The government will never let that happen though because of the amount of money tobacco produces for them. Until that day, we will still continue to see people suffer and die from smoking.

What does the future hold for us in health care? Many people such as myself and maybe you wonder if there should be a new health care plan or if we should stay with the old. This article talks about the health care issues from the perspective of two individuals, John Shadegg, and Mark McClellan. They speak on behalf of all groups of people. Very interesting article about how some cannot afford insurance.

We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.

Depending on how people interpret laws, they might believe that they might have lost them but some other people are still satisfied by the fact that they still have some rights.

The majority of people, when thinking of health care, consider things such as physical illnesses and things of that sort. Many do not think of mental health, which is an extremely pertinent part of an individual's quality of life. The problems and issues with obtaining services for mental health and maintaining them, sadly, are quite a few. This makes being able to find and receive the help and treatment needed for individuals' with mental health issues difficult and sometimes nearly impossible.
