If this Daily Mail story is to be believed, a 17 year old English girl has subsisted on little more than McDonald's chicken nuggets and fries for the past 15 years. "The factory worker – who says she has never tasted fresh fruit or vegetables – had to be taken to hospital earlier this week when she collapsed after struggling to breathe."
Stories like these are used by nanny-staters to justify ever more government intrusion. But the more the government intrudes, the less self-reliant and childish the people become -- which justifies even more intrusion. Or as Dennis Prager likes to say, "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." To which I add, "The bigger the government, the more to fight over." So if you want a politics increasingly polarized and embittered, agitate for more government control and less individual liberty.
