Sure, around here it's typically dressed up in bullshit claims about "concern for nutrition" and "making healthy choices," but in the end it's exactly the same: micromanaging busybodies are desperate to make choices on behalf of (and against the wishes of) fully functional adults.

Yes, it's disgusting, but it sure as hell ain't a Republicans-only issue.
