We can have discussions on how far is too far. We should certainly do that. There have been some policies that have been proposed (e.g. the ban on sodas over 32 oz) that seemed arbitrary even though the intention was to combat obesity. My questions would be, "Why 32 oz and not 20 oz?" "What about Twinkies and other sugar laden products, like Gatorade?"

Fools like the couple in the video however, are not reacting to a logical question or policy disagreement. I doubt they would respond well to questioning like I posed in my response but I think the questions need to be asked in order to point out their stupidity.
