Sadly, that sounds a bit familiar. :( There are SOME out there who think that we, the general public, are far too stupid to have total control over our own lives -- to include such areas as what, how much and were we eat, which sports we do (and how we do them) or what supplements or treatments we may put in or on our bodies. These folks think that everything needs a law in order to regulate the actions of the people for the greater good of society. There are other folks, such as myself, that will reject the Nanny State and its proponents every single time. I (we) wish these do-gooders would just go away and mind their own business and leave us alone to mind ours. As always, your (and everyone's) mileage may vary! -- Karen C.
