Toxicity and fraudulent misadvertisement is a far cry from sugar being bad for you if you choose to eat too much of it.

And to reiterate my point, advocating X based on "don't we already Y" instead of the actual merits of X is a big part of how dangerous slippery slopes occur, even if Y was a good thing.

In this case, the poster said:

"Education, public awareness, these kind of initiatives I can get behind. Regulation of food intake, is a step too far."

I merely pointed out that the thing identified as "a step too far" already exists. I wasn't advocating for anything so there isn't a slippery slope to fear.
