I'm not sure how it effects the US but my issue lies in the fact that we have public healthcare in Canada that we all have to pay for... just like the Public School system.

I completely agree with Cynthetiq's point... Society.

In America, I'm not sure how this plays out. There is a very strong tradition of individual "freedom" in the US... Many believe you should have the freedom to do what you want as long as it isn't hurting anyone else but yourself. What place does the government have telling me how to live my life? I should be able to eat what I want if I want to. If I want to be 5'5" and weigh 600 pounds, that's my business.
