There are people that rationalize about their weight who might benefit from more or better information whether you want to believe it or not.

Take the guy that figures it must be genetic since his whole family is overweight. It may never occur to him it's because his mother puts 12 pounds of food on the table every meal. That's the way he's always seen it done and thinks it's ordinary.

There are people who really don't believe that they drink too much pop (I know some). But every week at the grocery store they buy 4 12 packs.

People that drink lots of fruit juice because they've been told it's good for them. Just that nobody mentioned all of the sugar in them. People hear that fish is a good food, and think nothing of having it battered and deep fried.

You can call them stupid, ignorant, or unconcerned, but many might benefit from more information.

I reject your "holier than thou" attitude.

My favorite part is that the bill is titled "The Healthy Choices Act" when in reality is not a choice.

You'd have to be dim-witted not to realize that the title represents a goal. The reporting is simply a tool to help achieve that goal. Making the reporting of the stats mandatory is in no way contradictory to the title.

I'm thinking you watched too much "Beavis and Butthead". ( Or Fox. They often sound the same.) Easily entertained by attaching imaginary context to a word.
