I think you've hit it, in that it's a matter of providing people with the tools to live healthier lifestyles, as opposed to trying to mandate that they do so.
This next question is something I'm interested in, and again it follows through.... What has the government done to provide information on healthy eating for consumers? One of the challenges I find, for example, is that when you go into any store and lift things off the shelves, the information doesn't seem to be consistent. Yet to me it just comes down to informed consent. A Big Mac every now and then is not going to kill you--in fact it's all right--but you want to weigh it off against other things that are healthy. But if you can't find that information, it makes things difficult, particularly when people have busy, active lives today.
