Prohibition didn't work for alcohol, and portion size won't work for
obesity. I'm sure it's all going to come down to more money the government
can squeeze out of people. High taxes on large sizes etc. Next *they* will
decide that ribeye steak/pork/lamb is bad for you, or whatever the
collective hysteria happens to be on a certain day, so you can only sell it
in 3-4 oz size and so on. Personally, most of us have paid taxes all of our
lives for the very expensive poor choices of others, and will continue to do
so, so the old "oh but it costs so much" doesn't fly at all with me.
