When I was a kid my parents never had soft drinks in the house, and I never developed a taste for them. We also never had desert. But we did have a lot of fresh vegetables from our garden, and I grew to love broccoli and brussel sprouts and zucchini — all those veggies with a lot of taste. Good food tastes good. I admit that I have developed a fair appetite for dark chocolate, but I still love my greens and I don’t understand the attraction of soft drinks. I don’t see why there should be soft drinks or snack foods in schools.
And you can also rely on personal responsibility when you get diabetes or have a heart attack — consistent with your disdain for Obamacare. Surely you won’t ask for help from the dreaded Nanny State if you can’t afford healthcare, right?
