   NOw, HOW do you get people to take personal responsibility?

   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?

   I prefer not to take this Big Gulp. If you take personal responsibility you set yourself up against forces you can’t beat, like the Freemasons, or the KKK, or the government itself. You can only lose. Better be a worker-bee, live and die for the hive and take your orders from the queen. She knows, believe me…

   @TJDestry

   You seem to have completely, and utterly missed the point. Let me spell it out to you in simple terms:
   -
   If you exercise personal responsibility, you will make the healthy choices. They will be choices, and they are more likely to be the right ones, than the “choices” you’d like to make for us.

   We intelligent, mature, thinking, and responsible people don’t need Nanny state totalitarians, such as yourself, to force us to do the right thing. Or, perhaps I should rephrase that: we don’t need you to force us to do what you think are the right things. Your ilk makes so many mistakes in your personal lives, what makes you think you have the qualifications to run everyone else’s life for them?

    One way is not giving them hand outs everytime they turn around.
