One important question to think about is whether tackling the obesity problem so deeply may intrude the country’s restaurants and grocery stores. Can you restrict food content?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://affordablehealth-insurance.org/"><P>"It's a question of limiting personal choice," said Texas State Senator Kel Seliger. He recently opposed a trans fat ban. Though he believes that providing healthier foods in public schools and educating about better food choices is a good idea, the government should not restrict food content. "I like to inform the public rather than coerce the public," he said. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3E3BFC51-DA8C-4C63-B3D8-378475A75345/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
