The reasoning behind all the Nanny State dictitates seems to me to be “I don’t want to be responsible for my own descisions or actions. I don’t have the will-power to do anything responsibly so therefore the government should make me do what’s good for me.” This presupposes that what’s good for one is good for all. A “twinkie tax” would impose financial responsibilities on those of us who can and do take care of ourselves for those people who won’t. Unlike high taxes on tobacco products, these would affect everyone.

I really liked your piece there. For a second, I thought I was reading something real, but thinking in the back of my mind “too good to be true…” And then, I realized it was fictional (of course when I got to the end!) I couldn’t have told what was true and what wasn’t until I got to this page. In any respect, I think people shoud stop pointing fingers at others (as in the ridiculous lawsuits against the tobacco companies or fastfood resturants)for the choices they make everyday whatever the outcome may be. As the saying goes, “we reap what we sow.” Blaming others is not going to achieve anything good for anyone.
