People also dislike the idea of the EU forcing every child to eat a kilogram of french cheese every morning before school.

Luckily, neither is likely to happen and - even if it were proposed - the UK has the power to veto it ever happening.

assuming we are in the EU. if we're outside, we just watch and weep.

Veto is going to be dismantled sooner or later. There are plans to scrap veto for tax policy. Furthermore if there will be no veto and the citizens would dislike the new legislation there will be new EU army to keep people in check.
