[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole MAHA concept is idiotic.  Why is it the government’s business whether people are healthy or not?  [/quote]

It is sorta in the US Constitution, that pesky document that guides the values of our country.[/quote]

I mean, I am for EPA and safe drinking water and other ways the government can help us with environmental factors. But how does the constitution specifically point to government hand in personal health?[/quote]

What does the preamble to the Constitution say are the purposes of the government that it is establishing? "To establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. "Promote the general welfare" can absolutely be read to include public health.

Actually, I'm not sure how you can say that a government IS promoting the general welfare of its citizens if it does nothing for public health or the environment, or works actively to harm both of them. [/quote]
