Restaurant food should be banned

[Jumpin]

I’m in camp: adults should be free to do what they want so long as they’re not hurting anyone else.

I’m against nanny-state style regulations. Or regulations that are “for your own good” or “you’re too stupid to use this product correctly” or “this information is too dangerous for you to read/listen to” → non-exposure to critical issues only blunts a persons ability to think critically. For an example: This is why the “abstinence only” education areas are the ones drowning in teen pregnancy.

Note, this is not at all practical so more of a glib take, but here’s a thought:let it all exist, but make sure there is much more information available. Maybe show videos of how the food is prepared, show where the flesh comes from. Fruit flesh, show the fruit being harvested and prepared. Show the bread grains being manufactured to flour, whatever other strange additives that go into the bread (show Americans what they’re eating isn’t real bread). Show the animals being slaughtered and processed. I think that will make people choose healthier options… or at least not fool themselves into what they’re eating. For some restaurants this will be a horror show, but I think for others it will be quite appetizing.
