Thank you, Maine Democrats, for sponsoring the “anti-obesity” bill. I had no idea a cheeseburger and fries was not a healthy meal.

With our increasing budget deficit, raising the cost of doing business in Maine through more regulations on restaurants sounds like a great idea. I especially appreciate them taking my place in determining what my children can eat and drink at school. If I get fat, it’s my fault and my responsibility.

I’m not making judgments about other people, I’m just saying I’m in charge of my life. Please stop protecting me from myself.
