Personal Responsibility

Do we need the governments help to listen to common sense.  I talked with a young man a few weeks ago who told me that corporate America should not be allowed to advertise restaurants and food that is unhealthy, but it won't work.  Years ago they forced cigarette manufacturers to put a warning label on every pack that they sold.  Today millions in our nation are still smoking, and suffering, and dying.  We should realize after the repeal of prohibition that laws can't force people into healthy behavior.  There is no law we can pass or rule we can make that will replace the need for personal responsibility.  What we eat, and how often we exercise are choices we are all free to make.  No one is forcing us to spend more than we make and live stress filled lives.  Ultimately I am responsible for me, and so are you.
