Why I might be a jerk

I don't think it any of  my business or anybody else's how big a soda you can buy in a fast food joint.

Pointing this out makes me a jerk or so it seems.

I believe that that is a matter best left to the puchaser and retailer to negotiate between themselves - a mechanism that 99.999999999% of the time leaves both of them going away happy.

I don't buy "public health" arguments for intrusive legislation to control or attempt to control peoples behaviour. 

The people that want to tell other people that they shouldn't drink, smoke or eat bacon sandwiches whatever great "sin" that their tiny minds can think up are just bossy prats.

Sooner or later something nasty is gonna get you and for what ever it is that finally nails ya there will be a public health implication one way or another. C'est la vie.
