Everyone should have the freedom to do what they want as long as they don't harm others.
Some take that to an extreme. Like the federal school lunch inspector checking lunch bags from home and then when a lunch contained "a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, potato chips, and apple juice" threw it out and made the kid eat chicken nuggets from school cafeteria and charged for it too.

That example has nothing to do with what you quoted.
Actually if you think about it, it does. The federal inspector was operating under the assumption (and the applicable federal rules) that such a lunch, since it didn't contain a dairy product, was in violation of a healthy lunch standard, and could potentially HARM the child. Thus it was thrown out and substituted for the school lunch of chicken nuggets which contained a small container of milk. I think the school meal was a much less healthy lunch, but it met the standard.

IMHO, it was ridiculous and an example of the excessive growth and overreach of the federal government. Yet one more example of how we must do it to SAVE THE CHILDREN.

It's an area where there's growth and excessive overreach, but I can point to about a billion where we do not reach far enough. Perhaps, say, various forms of corporate regulation?

Which is why all the small government arguments are nuts to me. Doesn't help that they tend to come from people that believe gay marriage is wrong, abortion is wrong, contraception is wrong, and the government needs to step in and prevent all of that.
