I find it funny that the collectivists are accusing the individualists of being triggered when it is the former group that is offended by the very idea that people should be allowed to make their own bad decisions.
You don't get to sit here and lecture people about how you think you know what is better for others. Again, that is why Trump won in the first place. Stop treating everyone as if you are the intelligent ones and they are the stupid ones. That type of intellectual arrogance is devastating for democracy and for freedom.
FTR: I have virtually cease drinking soda as not drinking it has helped me keep my sugar low (thankfully, I haven't had a serious health care, but I've had a few incidents in the past where it was running a little high) I also stopped eating pork for religious and health reasons and also cut down on my beef intake over the past 2 years (though, its gone up a bit since November). I made these decisions on my own, because I am free to make those decisions.
However, I still drink a lot alcohol, still eat a crapload of unhealthy foods and have gained a ton of weight. are you going to try and force me to change those behaviors? If your answer is yes then you truly think you are on a higher plateau then us "little people" and don't believe in any sort of freedom in any real sense of the term.
YEah but it's just a tax. We tax cigarettes because of the horrible effects they have on people, and really pop is almost just as bad if you drink too much of it. It's not like they're banning it, just making it a little more expensive.
