Food Discussion

Why do people eat food that is unhealthy for them?
It is the cheapest and most widely available product. Why would someone go out of their way and spend more simply to eat healthier? Especially when the health risks aren't proven. All of our options are not even presented to us on a given basis.
Should the government have any control over what we eat?
The government should have control over the companies that make the food which is all ready true with the work of the Food and Drug Administration. As for regulating what we eat, that is borderline communism and will never happen in this country. However the companies must be held accountable to the ingredients in their products.
