The Inevitable Logic of the Nanny State...

...that which is bad for you becomes a crime. (Via Drudge)

This is justified via the "cost to the state" argument: the state will be called upon to care for this individual, ergo the state has an interest in this individual's health, ergo it has a right to compell treatment. Insurance companies do it all the time, why can't the gov'mint?
