Heh. So, is the full service gas station coming back to NJ? Cool.
I have to agree with the fact that the government has gradually took over the food chain. I sigh everytime I think of the good old days where we had our own gardens and grew our own produce. Were we fat people then? Heh. I don't think so! We were a working together family! And we worked hard together to get what we had. Lazy, we were not.
But, that is another era long gone. It's neither here nor there now. But, I think what is mostly being said is this: When our government actually starts regulating EVERYTHING that we can or can not do is not the "American" way. THAT's when it gets scary! But, since they have done it in moderation over the years, it's not been so drastic as the article above shows.
Health is a primary example of what is happening in our schools. Our children are increasingly becoming obese. Since we as parents (I'm meaning this as a whole--not pointing fingers) are not taking charge of it, the state and law makers will. And they have. And there are many other programs besides HEALTH that the state/law makers have had to step up to the plate to take care of because WE, as a current society, hasn't.
