Because of the health risks, tobacco and alcohol are regulated, especially tobacco, and advertising of them restricted. Trans fats probably will be banned in the near future as they should be. Soda isn't bad per se but high fructose corn syrup is and should be banned, IMO.

I'm not resentful. I wear my seat belt without griping. If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't have brought the subject up. Someone else started it, I posted to it that I agreed with it, and then explained why I agreed with it. I have my opinion and you have yours.
And several of us explained why we believe you to be wrong. Feeling picked on or something?
