The main thing is where do you draw the line. Who is going to say this person is too thin or too fat? Since everyone is different what standards will you use?

It is not the role of the government to make sure that I or anyone else lives a healthy lifestyle. It smacks of a government that wants to baby us because we are too fragile to make our own lifestyle choices.

What is next, control on the amount of Sugar I am eating, how much someone smokes, a forced daily calorie intake. Adult Individuals can make decisions for themselves, even if those decisions may likely be unhealthy for them.

Yes sounds like a govenment who is trying to get into everyones affairs. If memory serves me well enough I do believe that those type of governments do not last long.
