As for what i think about actual regulations and bans and such....

If the majority of society isn't responsible and is becoming obese....

People want to be obese.

That's just it. To pass laws to protect people from what they want is stupid... since what government is for is to make sure that people can pursue their goals without having to worry about others.

 

Force companies to list accurate health and calorie information sure... anything past that?  No.

 

Oh... as for salt...  Most modern studies actually tend to show salt isn't bad for you.  Just the stuff it's on is bad for you.  Or large increases of salt.  If you have an otherwise healthy hight salt diet... you should be fine.

I'm fine with that but then charge obese people in relation to their weight..

Why should I pay the same price as someone weighing 100 pounds more than I for a plane ticket where clearly it costs more to fly them than me ? ( if my luggage is two pounds over the limit I get charged more but that 300 pounds dude pays the same price ?)

 

Anyway the real issue is healthcare and the fact that it costs more to keep an obese population healthy ( there's a reason the US has some of the highest healthcare costs on earth) and if nothing gets done at some point in the future private health insurances will charge you based on your diet..
