My point is that if you put a basket of everyday items in front of the average person, they'd be hard pressed to identify the healthy ones. Purchasing food has become extremely complicated thanks to (among other things) the introduction of chemicals, binding agents, salts, and our old friend HFCS.
Case in point, spaghetti sauce. There are dozens to choose from, and very few have list tomatoes as a top ingredient. Tomatoes have about 30 cals per cup.....but 1/2 a cup of sauce is 80 cals and full of salt and sugar.
People who are making choices based on logic/intuition don't stand much of a chance nowadays.....as I mentioned earlier, its never been so easy to get calories, and never been so difficult to eat healthy.

Not sure if you made this point or not....
It is not about eating. It is about getting up off your arse. If everyone went out and played all day they wouldn't have time to fill their gullet.
Making laws about food is absolute FASCISM. What are you trying to control? You are trying to control and penaltilize people's stupidity, sloth, ignorance and unfortunately a good time. WTF is the tax money going to? A bureaucrat that will NOT be looking to END his/her job but to perpetuate it.
How about we collect for a charity for a campaign on healthy habits and fitness instead?
