I'm not waving a red flag around, it is just a response to Quirk's "Do what you can to self-preserve, expect nothing from any one" statement. Investing in a healthy society can mean many things but complete control by an "elite" few is not one of them.

"I would much rather invest in a healthy society than invest in being completely independent from society during a worse case scenario."
As you like. As I say up-thread, 'Each of you should do exactly, with your time, resources, 'self', as you like (up to and including self-cruxification if you think such a thing will do any good for any one)...I simply claim the same for myself (that is: to attempt to do as I choose).'

Yeah, eating lots of processed sugary foods and not exercising is bad for your health. Like pretty much everyone else here said, people have the right to make their own choices and spend their lives the way they want. You can deny yourself all mildly harmful pleasures and live 110 years of boredom and discomfort. You can binge on heroin and be dead by 21. Somewhere between these two is a zone of good value hedonistic returns, but for the gubmint to try to enforce one (medium) size fits all choices is stupid. I wonder if this issue will make people acknowledge that drug prohibition is equally stupid.
