I don't agree with criminalizing obesity, but I wanted to point out the serious strain it puts our system under. Far more than drug use. Perhaps we shod consider regulating foods and/or having harm reduction education around food and eating habits.

You really want the intrusion of a government bureaucracy in your life telling you how much and which foodstuffs, that are perfectly safe when eaten in moderation, you can buy? Think for a while about how this can go wrong, and about what kind of agency you want over your body.
We already have that when it comes to drugs. I'm saying the industry should be regulated better, instead of a free for all. Regulation is not all or nothing.
