So you believe your decisions are a matter of choice and free will? You could not be more mistaken with that assumption .  The "Health Nazis" are out to take away your freedoms! If you smoke,  drink,  or even EAT,   you'd better be prepared to be scorned and ridiculed!
Does it seem like these people do this work just for idealistic goals?  Most definitely not! These "zealots" are paid with your tax dollars to tell you how to live!  They make a living, from you tax dollars to achieve this control over you. There comes a point where our government and health officials need to be told to keep their hands off.  Even businesses are
falling for this nonsense. The Health Nazis care less about your health!  It's all about the insurance companies bottom line and how they can squeeze more money out of your while at the same time giving you less coverage!

Charleston-area residents are almost unanimously shocked by the Charleston Town Center's decision not to renew the leases of McDonalds and Long John Silver's saying the food at both restaurants is unhealthy.

While some believe that the mall is infringing upon the rights of an individual to choose their own meal, others think the reason given is simply not the whole story.

"It's really stupid," said Michael Kessinger of Charleston. "I'm not the biggest McDonald's fan, but let's face it, the real reason is that they're going to get more money from someone else. It's just crazy."......

While The Town Center Malls management has since changed it's story after this article
came out... it's a well known fact that Lisa McCrackin  ( A Mall manager) is on several
health boards including the Kanawha County Board of Health.   She's anti smoking,  anti
fast food,  anti everything that most people might consider a vice.
 

It's horrifying to think that so many people are clamoring for the right to dictate to everyone else what they can do with their own bodies. From the various health Nazis who want burger's banned there is a common desire to become dictators for the public good. Some want to regulate advertising of
"unhealthy" foods. Of course any food, in excessive doses is unhealthy.  Many doctors claim: "We
have to stop the kids from gaining weight.".  These groups demand the right to regulate all food sold within 1 mile of a school for instance. Some want a ban on serving hamburgers in schools.  Many want coffee and soda banned all over the country.  Don't think it cant happen?   And what about you alcohol drinkers?  You're next my friend!   So sit by while other peoples ox's are gored and you'll be sorry that you allowed this!
 

Now it may be argued that implying that such groups are nutrition Nazis is unfair. After all the Nazis were notorious for doing some pretty awful things.

But the image is neither far fetched nor unfair. The first major campaign to use the powers of government to make people healthy did come out of the policies of Hitler's National Socialist movement. Hitler's Germany was fed a dose of government sponsored propaganda, much like state sponsored anti-smoking advocates. The German people were told: "Your body belongs to the nation! Your body belongs to the Führer!  You have a duty to be healthy!  Food is not a private matter!"

In addition the first major anti-smoking campaign anywhere was started by the Nazi government. Of course that's just where they started. They also turned their attention to alcohol, what breads people
ate, even meat eating itself. It seems that many top Nazis, like Hitler, were avid vegetarians and
advocates of the "organic" in food. The same lunatics bought into herbalism and made sure that
Dachau, the first concentration camp, became one the world's leading sources for "natural" herbal remedies and spices.

Health historian Prof. Robert Proctor noted: "Food was important for the Nazis. The healthy and powerful state required healthy and powerful bodies, and a proper diet was often taken to be the key
to bodily strength. Nazi nutritionists mounted a frontal attack on Germans' excessive consumption of meat, sweets, and fat, and argued for a return to more natural' foods such as cereals, fresh fruit and vegetables."

In the centrally planned society of Hitler and his health fanatics like Hess, Himmler and Göring, everything was of concern to the state. Proctor says: "Here as elsewhere in Nazi ideology, the liberal distinction between public and private spheres was abandoned. As one Hitler Youth health manual put it: Nutrition is not a private matter!'"

I'm not saying that a concern about health matters makes one a Nazi. But the problem with the Nazis wasn't their concern for health. They believed the way that good health was achieved was through the coercive powers of government. As Proctor pointed out they refused to distinguish between the
individual private sphere and the public sphere. For them the private ceased to exist and everything was
of concern to the state. This resulted in the bureaucratic control of virtually every aspect of German life.

The local health fanatics have the right to be as fanatical as they want.  But their wants, in a free
society, should never be turned into commands that the rest of us are compelled to obey.

No one seriously questions the health implications of smoking, or fatty foods, of not sleeping enough, or any one of a host of actions we all do from time to time. But that doesn't give us the right to interfere with the choices other people make. If government intervention is justified for any measure that effects health what aspect of human life would be exempt from control?  Below is just a sample of what's in store....
