I wonder what other bad for us stuff the government is going to ban/criminalize/control/remove for the sake of our health??

Seems someone told me not too long ago that the government shouldn’t or cant have control over what we buy/eat etc??? (Course I could have confused that statement to me or misunderstood it)

Palm oil really is bad for the environment, via idiot palm growers who practice total deforestation in jungles so their plantations can expand. Virtually nothing that was living in the jungle can be found among the replacement palms.
