Indeed. We definitely don't have an obesity problem.
Isn't one of the main values of a society, that it strives to help everyone within that society ?
What is the 'correct' social attitude towards looking after the welfare of others ?

Given what was being discussed in the context, what you're saying equates to "there's something wrong that the public can get free access to ice-cream".
Restricting access is not the only way to address issues in society.
In any case, my only point was that the person I was replying to provided a very weak argument that the thing is bad in the first place. Note that this is not the same as me saying it isn't bad in any way.

I will not allow my daughter free access to ice cream, either ;)
I see your point. I think that, unsurprisingly, this is a much bigger issue than just 'porn' and everyone sees it from different viewpoints (humans, eh).
Thanks for the reply.
"is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life" is an extraordinarily weak argument for harmfulness.
Eating ice-cream is also not going to help someone be well-adjusted in life.
