I think you'd find that avoiding high-fat foods is as difficult as
giving up most drugs (I ought to know -- I've tried!). Fatty foods cause
sickness and death, and they force taxpayers to bear the burden
increased health costs. There's absolutely no reason that these foods
shouldn't be banned, and their consumption made a crime -- just like
drugs.
