Answer by Another Perspective
I think there should be a limit on how much one eats out. There are only so many things you can control. Let Republicans have their way, all black people would be killed or arrested for being black. All Mexicans the same unless they were illegals, those would be worshipped and given wages that we could all appreciate.

Answer by Kyrix
Considering far, far more people die on any given day from car crashes and from heart disease then from bullets, perhaps you have a point.

Answer by Clair
We should have fat and calorie content standards in fast food, since obesity IS an epidemic,
people eat garbage fast food on a consistent basis and are destroying their children with it— 1 out of 5 kids now are overweight or obese.
We know it’s all the parents fault with their disgusting eating habits and laziness.

They are making their kids live a life of low energy blubber, disease and shortened life expectancies. This is indirect child abuse.

So how can you get these people to eat and feed their children responsibly? HA? how?

I have two kids and one on the way and I’ll be damned if I let them eat any type of fast food more than once a month–As a treat!
… if not less than that.
My kids are in shape,
you have to be a role model by not overeating yourself, not nourishing yourself with garbage and keeping active and exercising.

Cars should have a 45 mph standard across the board and be made as safe as possible since they ARE death machines after all,
and the smart should feel obligated to share what they know, and our education system should be held to very high standards, even though some can never attain great intelligence, at least they can try.

Answer by Josh
Obese people are the biggest drain on the healthcare system.

Fat people use up more resources and tax dollar than smokers even.

The obese and smokers cost a hell of a lot more than illegal aliens, for instance.

Fast food control would be a good idea. Cars we have to use in everyday life, so that’s not applicable.

Stupid does kill, but I don’t want them pissing in my gene pool as it is. Let em die of “natural causes”.

If the VT killer had a baseball bat, or a knife…how many people do you believe he would have killed before being jumped and ambushed and ultimately, stopped?

Reasonable people are not calling for a ban on guns…but what is the necessity of handguns? Truly? If someone wants to protect themselves and their homes, a shotgun does a better job – you don’t need to be as good a shot to be effective. And hunting…no handguns required there! There is no need for handguns in society.

Answer by NeatFreak
Fat doesn’t kill people. There are plenty of healthy vital natural fats that are extremely good for you. But you won’t find any of them on a fast food menu.

Irresponsibility kills people. Lack of information kills people. Laziness kills people.

Folks would rather spend 5 minutes getting a $ 10 bucket of fried chicken rather than spend that $ 10 and 90 minutes at home roasting a fresh chicken.

Do I think fast food should be outlawed? No. People have the right to operate a business even if that business has no redeeming value. But I wish the American public would wake up and realize that the Standard American Diet is a pathertic shame.

Eat organic!!!

Answer by Trademarked
Chinese people eat very little fat, yet they have a higher life expectancy than England or America.

French people eat a lot of fat, yet they have a higher life expectancy than England or America.

Fat intake does not matter. It’s speaking English that kills you!

Answer by elvegaro
Yes. We should have a taxation on food which is related to how healthy that food is. After all, sick people are more of a burden to society than healthy people.
While many who are sick are so through no choice of their own, this does not apply to people who prefer fast-food to healthy food. Or people who smoke.

So, if they want to smoke or eat unhealthy food feel free to do so by all means! But, as such a choice costs the tax money of everyone else, you should have to pay for what your consumption costs society. So to such a degree, we should control food. And cigarettes. And pollutants. Though pollutants should be more strictly controlled as they can harm our children and childrens’ children in addition to us.

Answer by childofevil2003
Well, it could work if we all modify laws, style of living, way of controling things, and people are willing to accept changes!!

I find this very hard to do so just forget about it but if you ever decide to give up your foods, vehicles, and many little things that affect the environment then we might head the right way, by giving up the following could only help us all in the future:

Criminals………..kill them all!! If they are unhealthy burn them, and if they are healthy eat them.
Destroy value of Money……………trade instead.
Install cameras everywhere public or not to get rid of assumptions in crime………………we will know everything!!
Give up heating systems unless really cold and needed……….people don’t care and have heaters going while keeping windows open and is not helping things.
The use of resources is also being wasted like electricity, etc……….to give some examples!!

Answer by Mikey B
Very good point on this one and your very right. Guns dont kill people because you need some on behind them to pull the trigger, when was the last time you heard of a gun purposely firing its self and killing some one? banning guns isnt the problem here its finding the people that would do things like this before they do it and giving them the right attention they need. The attention that they probably never recieved from their parents.

Answer by lxtricks
I think we should have “make sure to mention everything that has ever killed anyone and suggest banning it so you don’t have to make a real arguemnt against gun control” control.
