But if you don't see the governments role in protecting adults from themselves then there should be no protections against suicide, and laws preventing adults from abusing drugs should be removed to since those are choices that an adult makes themselves.
I think that regulating the body weight only goes halfway and that if you really wanted to make a change you would need laws against cheap fast food that is high in fats.
