Fast focus: Individual responsibility

12:00am on Sep 18, 2011; Modified: 8:11am on Sep 19, 2011

Sitting at my table, reading the Sunday paper dedicated to 9/11 memories ... suddenly there is a question totally unrelated. Should the government try to limit your sugar intake? Excuse me. Who is responsible for what I eat and drink? Certainly not the government. The obesity crisis in our nation boils down to each individual being a responsible human being. But we have raised a generation that has been taught it is always someone else's fault. If you have a health issue from eating too much sugar, then stop eating too much sugar.
