I am confused as to why the people who support softer drug laws often support harsher food restrictions, and vice versa. I mean, if it's all about personal freedom versus helping people who can't help themselves, they should go in the same direction, right? In this case you could say it's all about the children, but anti-drug campaigners would say the same. Plus, some food restriction-ists target adults, such as the NYC salt ban proposal.
I don't support letting children smoke marijuana or drink alcohol.
